Disaster Preparedness Plan 2007-2023

Every serious survivalist dreams of having their own underground survival bunker. A haven where we can escape to in the event of an emergency an underground shelter where you can take refuge.Video Guides: Survival Guide | Survive It TVWhether you call it a survival bunker, an apocalyptic bunker, a bomb shelter, nuclear shelter or fallout shelter…its a place you can survive (typically underground) with plenty of clean air, fresh water, and food in times epic disaster.Sure, VIPs like the President, billionaires, and wealthy moguls have emergency bunkers. Opulent spaces outfitted with massage recliners, flat screen theaters, and Charmin extra triple ply gentle toilet paper…To put it plainly: there arent any. But there could be…You dont have to be a billionaire or head of state to have a survival bunker. Now, Im not telling you that building one is easy, or that you can do it on a shoestring budget because it isnt and you cant.But if you are serious about protecting your family in the event of an emergency natural, or otherwise it can be done. That is if your willing to invest the time, effort and cash to build an underground survival bunker.Whether its North Korea firing a missile on the US or violent riots consuming your neighborhood. Or your worried about tornados touching down on your street, ISIS, Nazis WHATEVER!But thats not all, folks! Bunkers also serve as a good place to store food caches, ammunition, and survival supplies. Its like having a walk-in closet unit for all your stockpiles and preps.As I mentioned earlier: this is no cake walk side project. Building an underground survival bunker is an intensive construction project requiring lots of forethought and planning.But as prepared survivalists, planning is what we do. So if you want a survival bunker, you have to accept this will be one of your bigger survival projects.The first step is to get a permit for the project. Yes, believe it or not, in most circumstances you cant just start digging a massive hole in your yard.

1. What disasters do you need to prepare for in your area - e.g. extreme weather, floods, terrorism, fires.2. Emergency kit, house and car.Make sure you and your family members know where it is.This includes a medical kit with first aid guide, a knife and multi tool, torches/lighting equipment, radio with batteries or hand crank, maps/GPS, water and food supplies.Around 4 litres of water per person per day. Food items should include nutritious items such as peanut butter which is a good source of protein and fat, and high sugar items like cereal bars.Shelter and protection items: plastic sheeting, waterproof ponchos, emergency blankets, warm clothing, dust masks, N95 respirators for infection protection, duct tape, towels, blankets,Hygiene: disinfectant, unscented bleach, wet wipes, toilet tissue.Prescription medication, glasses, general medicines like painkillers and loperamide.The American Red Cross have some good kit checklists online for free for a comprehensive list.3. Emergency plans/contact numbers -Contact information for emergency services, government (local and national)How to escape in the chance of a fire, where to go and who to contact in terrorism/floods and other regional/national emergencies.The Red Cross again have a good emergency plan you can fill out, with a fire escape plan, and a contact numbers list to fill in.4. Vehicle/TransportMake sure you have means of getting transport for getting to safety. This vehicle should have your emergency supplies too, take as much food and water with you as possible. If it is safe to do so, fill bottles and containers with tap water to take with you.

On a personal level, you should decide what you think you cannot live without and set aside enough of those items to last you for about three weeks. You don’t have to get so involved in the process that you turn into a prepper.If you rely on medications, make sure you have enough on hand at any given time. Take a look at the Red Cross’s web page for a list of specific items they recommend having on hand.Consider the history of your location. What has affected it in the past and how extensively was it affected? Consider any architectural and environmental characteristics of the location. For example, do you live in a coastal area, a flood plane, or near a known earthquake fault zone? What building materials were used in the construction of the places you live and work? Are you sitting under heavy beams, near glass windows, or in an enclosed space?How could you and others leave that location if it were compromised? What if that route were not available to you? What is there in the environment that you could use to your advantage if you were trapped there or simply had to remain there because it was not safe to leave?Make a basic plan for yourself. Where would you go if you could not go home tonight? Who would want to know where you are and who would you like to contact if that person were not easily located?Look at websites like Plan Ahead for Disasters and you will find many resources that you can personalize to fit your needs.That should get you started. If your question is more detailed than what you wrote here, let me know and I will try to fill in more specific details.

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed. I am just trying to show you examples that you are most likely being connned.Below is an email response I received after I sent an inquiry to the US government when I discovered I was scammed. I received this wonderful response back with lots of useful links on how to find and report your scammer.

As the United States enters the post-eradication era, it is critical that we develop thoughtful institutional strategies to meet the challenges of potential reintroduction or re-emergence of disease. The waning of surveillance and laboratory diagnostic capability, reduced medical awareness, lack of vaccine supply and production capacity, limited institutional response capacity, decreased immunity in the population at large, and increased threats of bioterrorism all leave the non-immunized populace highly vulnerable to a post-eradication outbreak. Planning for the post-eradication era will likely warrant consideration of major outbreak scenarios and the required capacity for response.Try this: Survival Guide | Survive It TVHospitals serve as a major hub in the U.S. health care system and can and should play a major role in an outbreak response. However, they have neither the capacity nor infrastructure to handle such a crisis, and there are no financial incentives or mandates in place to encourage them to devote efforts to anticipate potential outbreak scenarios. There is an enormous amount of work to be done to prepare hospitals for the post-eradication era.In order for the health care system to respond effectively to a potential disease outbreak, the health system must be operating reasonably effectively prior to the outbreak. That is, a certain amount of basic functionality, organizational infrastructure strength, and extra capacity (i.e., availability of drugs, equipment, supplies, and personnel) will be a sine qua non of an effective response. If hospitals and physicians are already struggling to handle day-to-day operations due to a lack of staff, equipment, and other core capacities, it will be impossible for them to respond effectively to a signNow crisis.The problems hospitals currently face are not only financial. The most acute operational issues relate to staff shortagesincluding nurses, technologists, pharmacists, technicians, nurses’ aides, housekeepers, medical records coders, and others. Current staff levels are insufficient for hospitals to cope even with the small and entirely predictable seasonal influenza epidemics. To cite a few examples:This does not imply that hospitals would not respond in the event of a crisis. In fact, American hospitals have a record of extraordinary response when disaster strikes. The point is that, without preparedness funding, it is economically irrational to expect or hope for preparatory efforts on the part of any individual health care organization.Legal mandates and financial incentives will likely be required to catalyze hospital response on this issue. At least four types of financial protection will be necessary:However, it is remarkable how quickly local hospital capacity is overwhelmed in many, if not all, epidemic-response scenarios. There is a need for sophisticated modeling of a range of hypothetical outbreaks, using current hospital capacity data. More importantly, we should explore all reasonable mechanisms to help hospitals substantially expand their capacities to handle mass surges of people (by incremental hundreds or even thousands) in the event of a major epidemic. One option, for example, might be to create expandable bio-containment units, which would be selfcontained but placed adjacent to hospitals. Such units might enable the use of the existing hospitals’ organizational infrastructures, supplies, and personnel, while providing a simple but epidemiologically sound setting for the triage and treatment of far more individuals than the institutions’ emergency rooms or clinics could safely handle. Similarly, we might explore the feasibility of training a cadre of hospital-based epidemiologists, current EMS physicians, and new staff. These suggestions and speculations are offered as a point of departure for future discussions on how best to help America’s health care system prepare for inevitable disease outbreaks.Smallpox was dismissed as a bioweapon in part because all countries, including the USSR, had participated actively in eradication of the disease. It was, therefore, a surprise to learn that the Soviet Union, a nation engaged in the eradication effort, would simultaneously engage in surreptitious, state-sanctioned activities that could result in disease reintroduction. Moreover, smallpox has undesirable features as a bioweapon for several reasons: the disease is easily diagnosed; attribution of an attack would be obvious; the virus is transmissible and could backfire on non-target populations; the incubation period is long and its effect on a target population delayed; and a vaccine is available and routinely used to protect military forces.These events emphasize how the changing landscape following disease eradication affects vaccine policies. The threat of deliberate release will remain the most signNow rationale for a responsible and conservative policy. Measles, a highly infectious agent that would cause signNow morbidity in non-immune adult populations, is another potential BW agent. Even poliovirus, which is far less transmissible and has a high infection:case ratio, should not be dismissed. The pathogenesis of poliovirus delivered as an aerosol could be fundamentally different from that of the naturally occurring disease.Since the last documented endemic case of smallpox in 1977, the only other known occurrence was limited to a laboratory accident in 1978. The smallpox success story, however, illustrates the possible paradoxical security outcome of viral eradication. While the natural occurrence of this disease is a distant memory, the prospect of a deliberate post-eradication outbreak as the result of a terrorist attack or act of war is now considered credible. The non-immune status of the majority of Americans, coupled with a limited national capacity to respond to an outbreak, leaves a signNow vulnerability which terrorists or adversaries could threaten to exploit.

I was selected for a summer internship 2016.I tried to be very open while filling the preference form: I choose many products as my favorite products and I said I'm open about the team I want to join.I even was very open in the  location and start date to get host matching interviews (I negotiated the start date in the interview until both me and my host were happy.) You could ask your recruiter to review your form (there are very cool and could help you a lot since they have a bigger experience).Do a search on the potential team.Before the interviews,  try to find smart question that you are going to ask for the potential host (do a search on the team  to find nice and deep questions to impress your host). Prepare well your resume.You are very likely not going to get algorithm/data structure questions like in the first round. It's going to be just some friendly chat if you are lucky. If your potential team is working on something like machine learning, expect that  they are going to ask you questions about machine learning, courses related to machine learning you have and relevant experience (projects, internship). Of course you have to study that before the interview. Take as long time as you need if you feel rusty. It takes some time to get ready for the host matching (it's less than the technical interview)  but it's worth it of course.

I sure can, However disaster planning/emergency preparedness can have very different meanings based on application so at what level are we talking about Federal, State, City, Cooperate, Personal or ??? And what kind general, IT, Security, financial, etc… What are you trying to protect in the event of a disaster or emergency?If you can be more specific I can certainly provide a much better answer.

Gather information. Know the warning signals for your area. Obtain insurance for your family and home. Stay alert for emergency broadcasts. Choose a post-hazard meeting place for your family. Make a family communication plan. Make a family emergency supply kit.

However, preparedness is only one phase of emergency management. Current thinking defines four phases of emergency management: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. There are entire courses on each of these phases. The following diagram illustrates the four phases of emergency management.

Natural disasters: including floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and volcano eruptions that have immediate impacts on human hEvalth and secondary impacts causing further death and suffering from (for example) floods, landslides, fires, tsunamis.

The goal of disaster preparedness is to lessen the impact of disasters on vulnerable populations, to ready an organization for an influx of activity, and to design a coordinated plan that reduces the waste of resources, time, and efforts.

A disaster is a sudden, calamitous event that seriously disrupts the functioning of a community or society and causes human, material, and economic or environmental losses that exceed the community's or society's ability to cope using its own resources. Though often caused by nature, disasters can have human origins.
