But having this increases your chances of staying alive…
Even if you’re one of the unlucky people affected by it every second of the day.
Ryan turned on the news and saw the weatherman frantically repeating as he held back tears…
“This is looking like 1999 all over again!”
“If you don’t get underground or out of the way, you won’t live… you won’t make it!”
Then all of a sudden…
The TV went out.
Within seconds, the rain intensified… debris started flying everywhere… and the pungent smell of sulfur filled the air.
Suddenly, his senses heightened as the eerie thought of “this is the end” gripped his mind.
Off in the distance, he could hear what sounded like a team of freight trains fast approaching.
Sirens pierced his eardrums and loudspeakers chanted… “Evacuate your homes. Get out now!”
As he gazed out the window of his living room – he saw nothing but pitch black clouds…
Dancing And Rotating Like A
Horse Carousel At The Local Carnival.
24 Killed, 377 Injured,
13,000 Homes Severely Marred
Or Destroyed,
And Over $2 Billion In Damages...
ALL Within 40 Minutes.
Hi. It’s former CIA Officer Jason Hanson.
As gut-wrenching as this story is…
It only speaks of the time leading up to – and just after – the massive twister ravaged this small town…
NOT the unspoken period of time when the people who physically survived…
Fought to regain normalcy to their lives.
What I call...
Unfortunately, survivors of devastating natural disasters have to deal with the chaos and crowded streets…
First, there’s shock…
Then, panic sets in.
Stores shut down…gas stations run dry…
Chances are – after a natural disaster – you’ll most likely be on your own for the first 48 to 72 hours before outside help can arrive.
And during this time, a lot can happen.
You can dehydrate from a lack of water, get sick without your medications, or possibly even…
Freeze To Death
Without Proper Clothing
And the odds of this happening to you are greatly increasing.
According to the New England Journal of Medicine…
The potential for disasters are only getting worse.
From 2000 through 2009, there were three times as many natural disasters as there were from 1980 through 1989…
But it's not Mother Nature’s fault we’re seeing more injuries, deaths and chaos during “the aftermath”…
No…
It's our own.
We live in houses built on fault lines…
On riverbanks of those known to flood…
And unstable cliffs overlooking oceans that can produce immense waves.
The list goes on and on.
RealtyTrac, the nation’s leading source of housing data…
Examined 8,642 zip codes nationwide, and assigned each a natural disaster risk score – from 0 to 360 – based on their risk of wildfires, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and earthquakes.
The results?
25% of U.S. homes and condos – a total of 17.3 million – are in the high, to very high risk range of at least one type of natural disaster.
And this doesn’t account for major snow or thunderstorms.
If you’re not equipped to be out on the streets for any significant amount of time…
Allow me to introduce a stat that could very well get you into a prepared state of mind.
Since 2008, an average of 26.4 million people per year have been displaced from their homes by natural disasters…
The equivalent of just over 72,328 people per day.
And if you happen to become one of these people…
Without a home to go back to…
Which is why I wrote this letter.
You see…
Getting caught with no food, water, or shelter is the last thing you want if you’re unexpectedly forced from your home.
Of the 13,000 homes that saw devastation in Moore, Oklahoma…
33,000 people couldn’t go back to them.
Who knows how many of them were prepared.
And even though Ryan’s home escaped with no damage, it still took days for emergency officials to clear the area for him to go back.
Fortunately…
One of the few things he grabbed as he was heading out the door was…
A Tactical Survival Backpack…
Filled with the essentials he’d need in case of this very situation.
Water... food… clothing… shelter… A first-aid kit… And weapons.
Enough for up to three days.
He was prepared.
But the reality in America is…
Most people aren’t.
A recent study released by Columbia University’s National Center for Disaster Preparedness revealed…
-
65% of American households don’t have adequate plans and supplies for a natural disaster. (Your neighbors on either side of you probably won’t have what it takes to survive 48 to 72 hours… make sure you do.)
-
Only 59% of households believe their relationships with others in their local community can help them in such an event.
-
35% of households with children have NO CLUE what their children’s schools will do in an emergency. (And 41% won’t even know where they’ll be.)
The SPYTAC Tactical Backpack
Designed For Military and Law Enforcement Operations…
Yet Created For Everyday Civilians
If ever there was an item to help keep you from being a victim in an “aftermath” situation… it’s a quality backpack and the one use is called the SPYTAC Tactical Backpack.
Whether an earthquake pummels your city, a tornado tears up your neighborhood, or you find yourself stranded out in the middle of nowhere…
The last thing you want to be is unprepared.
The 19 x 10.6 x 7in backpack is made from durable 600D laser-cut nylon fabric with a water-resistant coating so you can rest assured your gear won’t get soaked if you happen to be out in serious weather.
It has a 25+ liter capacity with three zippered compartments for all of your specific needs, such as…
-
The main compartment has an internal hydration sleeve, mesh pocket and a center tube exit. (Allowing you to stay hydrated without having to take the backpack off.)
“Last week whilst taking my mother to France for Xmas (We are still here) she accidentally locked and padlocked her case with the keys inside. Anyway I had a go and remembering a video of yours I watched… I tensioned the lock, raked the pins and then jiggled them. "Snick". The lock came open. And my mother was VERY happy! Thank you for your help and for making my Mum, not only happy but a little bit proud of me too!” ~ Michael Robary, London, England
