1-Hour Before The Ash Clouds Arrive:

• Buildings collapse.
• Utility poles buckle.
• Road surfaces become dangerously slick.
• Respiratory illnesses triple.

• Stalled cars and trucks clog inner-city traffic flow.
• Household and Family pets choke to death inhaling the ash particulates.
• Power and Telephone lines snap.
• Computer systems not protected overheat and start fires.
• Household air filters quickly clog. Furnace and AC units overheat and fail.
• Residential fires spread quickly.
• Water mains fail—supply terminated.
• Stream, ponds, and rivers are contaminated with ash. Thousand of marine life die.
• Birds, rodents, and other animals suffer—many perish.
• Nuclear Winter has set-in.
• Catastrophic Crops failure is imminent.
• Ambient temperatures quickly drop—the agricultural industry fails.
• Jails and Prisons manned by a limited number of Correctional Staff; Uprising occurs, streets flooded with thugs.

Two Weeks After Eruption:

• Police unable to quell rising tide of violence.
• Theft, robberies, home-invasions out of control.
• State Governor tells citizens to “Deal With It” as necessary.
• FEMA establishes “Food Distribution Centers”; it takes hours to get an MRE and drinking water.
• Vigilante Justice becomes a harsh reality.

 

 

What’s Your Plan…?

 

 

Can you live off the land now?

Can you hunt, trap, or fish during all of this?

Can you protect what is yours all by yourself?

Do you have enough food, water, and supplies to last three months?

Do you have a network of friends that you can count on?

Can you generate your own electricity?

Do you have generator fuel stockpiled?

Have you thought about generator spare parts, air and oil filters, spark plugs, motor oil, belts and such?

Do you have a means to communicate with others?

How will you cook your meager food supplies?

Do you have enough toilet paper stockpiled?

How will you deal with sewage in your house?

Do you have the means and equipment to decontaminated water?

Do you have the skills necessary to treat an upper-respiratory illness due to ash inhalation?

What happens when your medical prescription runs out?
