All you need to know to survive just about anything. There are literally dozens upon dozens of different disasters and emergencies that can affect you, but the good news is, many of the things you’ll do will help you prep for all of them.
You can ask any prepper what they are most worried about, what they are most concerned with preparing for, and chances are they will respond what’s an answer about some kind of natural disaster.

Deception is one of humanity’s oldest traits, and unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately depending on your endeavors, persists all the way up to today.
