Good Article About Preparedness

I've just read Lessons Learned From the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami on the Survival, Emergency Preparedness, and Self Reliance blogsite.

As we've seen in these past weeks, what happened in Japan is just about the worst case scenario we can imagine -- massive earthquake, tsunami, nuclear reactor disaster. That country had prepared for an earthquake up to magnitude 8.5, for a tsunami of up to 25 feet, and I assume they had plans in place for a reactor issue. That should have been enough. Anyone would think that was enough.

And yet, they were hit by a 9.0 earthquake, a 30 foot tsunami, and multiple reactor breakdowns  all at the same time.

The lesson to be learned is that we can never be too prepared. This seems like a good time for all of us to re-evaluate our emergency strategies and make them stronger.
