Reply to: New to Prepping & specific questions re CA/fire strategy Posted September 6, 2020

mseg77, First, I hope you and your family are okay. Feels like wildfire season in CA get’s worse every year. Just yesterday, the Creek Fire near Fresno was hard to digest. I’ve never considered myself a prepper but for the past couple of years have been paying more attention to such things. We now maintain a bug out bag for the family, have stored food and water to last us at least 3 days, have planned our evacuation routes, purchased GMRS radios for communication. We’ve teamed up with friends in the neihborhood and we all have these radios. We also maintain a record of our home inventory. If things were to burn down, et lost, etc indusrance companies want this information to pay out a claim. Since I am generally forgetful, I use an application to track expiry dates of food and water in our survival kit, store our home inventory information, share our evacuation meet up locations with family friends, etc. So I built one with the hope it could help people. Here is a link to some guidelines for emergency preparedeness.

No activity yet.
