How to Stay Connected in a Crisis

The current situation regarding employment insecurity, mass immigration, violence on our streets, the vulnerability of women and children, its no surprise that our future is at stake.

An Urban Survival Plan would give you some protection on how to avoid a wide variety of worse case scenarios. Of course, you should stay positive, but also prepare yourself for a possible disaster, and I recommend that you prepare your own survival blueprint!

In these difficult times, can you trust your government, the corporations, the pharmaceutical industry, your doctor or the media to look after you? No... YOU should learn How to Protect Yourself!

Many of us assume that our lives will carry on in the same way, but this is not necessarily the case. Disasters are constantly taking place, and many people, just like us, are suddenly experiencing major setbacks.

Thinking about how you will survive a disaster is a wise move!

Are YOU Prepared? Yes/No?

I certainly don't want you to live in fear of what may happen, as it's not a good idea to concentrate on negative things. But, it is important to be prepared. If you aren't ready - you may become a victim of events.

What Types of Disasters Should You Prepare For?

1 - Losing your job, home, or material possessions.

These are financial considerations, so it's very important to develop the ability to find paid work. It's good to study, learn, and develop new skills that will help protect your future.

2 - Breaking Up With a Romantic Partner!

This can leave you feeling depressed. It is important to allow for this period of gloom, but also essential to pick yourself up, dust yourself down, and move on with your life.

3 - A Death in the Family!

Losing a loved one is a massive shock, but, unfortunately, sooner or later, we have no choice but to move on with our lives.

With these three scenarios the right mindset may be...

"when one door closes another door opens"

You should be aware that you are surrounded by opportunities, and should learn to avoid looking back at what was, but focus instead on the present moment, while looking forward to what will be.

4 - Bad Weather!

The planet is going through many changes that people cannot control. This may include extremes of wind, rain, fire, flood, tornado, hurricane, tsunami, and so many more. It is important to be prepared.

5 - Essential Service Problems!

Electricity, gas, water, and food supplies can be temporarily or permanently interrupted for a variety of reasons. YOU should be prepared for this scenario, and take action to build your own Urban Survival Blueprint.

6 - A Breakdown of Society!

Unfortunately most governments spend their time looking after the rich, and serving the needs of large corporations. They hold the power and have large police forces and armies to support this selfish behaviour.

Millions of people are fed up with their greed, and are taking action by protesting in many countries around the globe. This may eventually lead to a complete breakdown in society and you should prepare for civil unrest.

Your Urban Survival Plan

Staying where you are currently living is far better than having a fully stocked rural retreat that you can’t get to in a disaster situation. If you are like most people, you don’t have a retreat to escape to anyway.

So what should you do?

Plan to Survive In Place!

I have prepared my own Urban Survival Blueprint. Why? Because I felt it was important enough to learn how to protect myself and my family.

I am prepared... are YOU?

My Self Defence Secrets Collection goes into great detail about how to protect yourself and your loved ones. You'll learn dozens of master strategies that are proven to work in a violent attack.

How Can You Stay Connected?

If there is a major cyber attack on our power supplies, then it may cause a short or long-term break in the supplies of electricity. This could have a serious effect on your ability to get fuel, food, water etc. which can very quickly lead to panic and a complete breakdown in society.

Without power, phone cell towers would cease to work, and you will be unable to communicate with your friends and family. This may also mean that you may be unable to contact any of the emergency services...

YOU will be on your own!

This could mean survival of the fittest. The fittest are those people who are PREPARED for a disaster situation.

How are You Going to Communicate?

I recommend that you get yourself a means of power. This could be a fuel generator, or an electrical generator and solar panels.

I suggest that you purchase a good set of high-powered walkie-talkies and practise with them... this may be THE only way to contact your loved ones!

Although I am outlining a scenario here that is quite extreme, but the way the world is right now, the chances are greatly increasing that society will break down. If it does, members of the emergency services - police, army, ambulance and fire brigade will be protecting their families and...

not available to help you.

So, are you going to hope for the best?

If you do hope for the best, and you are wrong, you may quickly become a victim who just won't survive...

" If you fail to prepare, then you prepare to fail "
