Just received "Emergency Preparedness Guidebook" in the mail

went to the mailbox today and in it was an emergency preparedness guidebook. This is a definite first for anywhere I've lived in the past 35 years


It details what to do in an emergency and what provisions to stock up on. My guess for the the main reason this was put out is that they expect a major hurricane to hit the coast (I am on the shoreline) this year.

Did anyone else get one of these?

If they were only distributed to certain areas, we should be able to figure out where they expect the carnage!!!

I've yet to see anything like that here. Although local ARES and CERT groups have been putting on regular expos to remind the public to be prepared for natural disasters.

Can you post a picture of the cover or something, it seems interesting. I don't think it's a sign that they're planning to do anything bad, It might very well be just a community heads up sort of thing.

My advice-stock up on plenty of long lasting food-I know food is expensive now,but with the weather you are having in the US,a major crop failure could send prices skyrocketing by the end of the year.

Something ominous I read today was Newt Gingrich talking about a power grid failure lasting weeks or months.
He's talking EMP.
Lets hope he doesn't have inside info...

It is almost unthinkable, yet possible, that an enemy could detonate a nuclear weapon over the atmosphere over the continental United States, triggering an electromagnetic pulse.
This would short-circuit our power grid, taking power offline for months, perhaps even years.

Scary article.

We get one every year. Its part of the hurricane tracking kits.
You can also pick one up at the local grocery stores.

You never said where you live.
I am on the atlantic coast in Virginia near Norfolk.

"THEY"
The infamous government liars. Do you really think they know when or where a hurricane is going to form or hit ?
They can bearly predict their movements when there is an actual storm to track forget about predicting a storm that has not even formed yet.
You dont know much about weather systems do you ?
