    I’m a veteran of hurricanes Betsy and Camille in Slidell Louisiana. Something we were always reminded to do in preparing for a storm when I lived in Louisiana was to go into your freezer and cook all the fresh meats and vegetables and refreeze them prior to the arrival of a hurricane. You can then thaw them out and warm them up when you need to use them. You may need to do this 2 or more days before the storm actually hits. Also turn up the settings on both freezer and refrigerator about 24 hours ahead of the storm. This makes things colder and the cold will last longer after the power goes out. Don’t worry if the milk freezes. it won’t hurt it. Also, use the fresh stuff you cooked first as it will also spoil first.You may get the power back on before you need the other stuff and you can save it for the next storm. Additionally, keep the kids out of the fridge and freezer. Opening the door allows it to warm up and will spoil the food in there quicker. Limit opening the doors to once a day if at all possible.

Why Worry About Preparing?

Preparedness for a disaster makes a lot of sense. With recent and predicted events like Hurricane Sandy, The Colorado Wildfires, Fiscal Cliffs, and rising food and gas costs just in 2012 there is no denying that things are changing in our world. Whether or not you believe "The End of the World As We Know It" is near there are plenty of everyday things to worry about: loss of a job, health emergency, local weather events to name a few.

I find that I worry less about the big "what if's" out there the more emergency planning my family does to deal with the unexpected. I will share the survival tips and tricks I have learned while on this preparedness journey and hope that you join in with lots of comments. We all have a lot to learn from one another.

Now, lets get started prepping! Pick a post and start reading. At the end of every post the blog randomly selects three more survival posts for you to check out. Set aside 10 minutes a day to build your preppers knowledge base. We can never be done learning or prepping, right?
