Foreign [Music] We haven't really had too much good news In the last few years from civil unrest And violent protests in the streets to Food supply chains collapsing from Pandemics to large-scale power outages To Tainted water and land poison from Large-scale industrial and Transportation accidents threats of World war and nuclear war the rising Costs of everything to the inevitable Bursting of the bubble in a global Economic meltdown in banks beginning to Fill from attacks on our power grid Cyber attacks and nuclear power plants Caught in the crossfire of a massive and Deadly war and so much more the world is On a clear path of deterioration that Doesn't factor in the general disaster Preparedness you should have for Anything from a natural disaster to a Job loss or sudden Finance draining Medical emergency if a single event were To push the world as we know it over the Edge leading to a collapse there are Things you can start doing today to Prepare for that potential to ensure you Survive making it through the days weeks And months following a massive disaster Were a series of compounding disasters Where you're cut off from outside Assistance and laws and orders have Broken down starts with what you do
Today there are solutions to plug in Today remain safe and survive our Uncertain future here are the five Phases of a disaster and the five rules You have to follow to give yourself a Chance of surviving the aftermath Phase one one to two days shock After any significant event from a Nuclear event whether a nuclear power Plant melts down or a nuclear missile Exchange to a collapse of the banking System resulting in people making runs On the bank people will initially fill a Notable sense of disbelief they're often Days wondering or locked in their homes Fewer others you might know may have Experienced some of the same disbelief And uncertainty when kova begins Spreading across the United States and Residents were asked to stay home you May have asked yourself why is this Happening or is this really happening During this event it became a Calculation period for many as they Sought answers as to why the world is Thrown into chaos leaving them to wonder What they could do to make it through For many this threw them into a panic And they comforted themselves by Panic Buying beans rice soup and toilet paper They bought way more than they needed in Most cases and this caused snarls Upheavals and collapses in the supply Chain that caused tours to put limits on
Purchases or sell out of inventory Exacerbating the problem for the most Part however these first 48 hours after A major event are marked with an Uncertain and unsettling calm as people Assess their situation and what just Happened but they're prepared it is a Time of taking inventory and determining Your safety at your current location do You stay or do you go before the masses Make it impossible to do otherwise if You have to get out of the area your Preparedness will keep you moving Through to safer areas While others are Still wandering around and scratching Their heads in disbelief Rule number one don't get caught in the Masses For the unprepared after the initial Event has ended they assume help will Soon come when they realize that help May not be coming things can turn on a Dime this is where you have to be wise With your next steps if you're wanting To run to the store to top off your Preps the risk involved May outweigh any Benefit achieved if you have been Preparing your best strategy is not to Venture out I would never suggest Attempting a run to the grocery store or Gas station if things are deteriorating Rapidly it's just not worth it unless There's a compelling reason particular To your situation you do not want to
Surround yourself with a frightened and Unpredictable masses knowing that things Will move out of this somewhat calm Phase the next more chaotic phase in the Aftermath the momentary relative peace After the disaster may be to get to your Location and hunker down because the First week may be even worse than the Initial disaster Download the start preparing Survival Guide to help you prepare for any Disaster I'll post a link in the Description and comment section below or Visit cityprepping.com forward slash get Started for a free guide to help you get Started on your journey of preparedness Phase two first week panic The Panic buying activity is really when People emerge from their initial shot From the onset of the event in question They are emerging from an information And resource Gathering phase of their Post-crisis experience after 9 11 people Were Panic buying plastic sheeting and Duct tape for Windows as they fear to Biological or dirty bomb terrorist Attack The shock and awe are replaced by a very Self-centered compulsion to get what you Need before it's all gone When people realize services like Utilities medical police and fire are Offline and may not return online in the Foreseeable future their Panic level
Will increase dramatically so too Increases the level of crime and Vigilantism social order is really an Agreement between people under the Threat of prosecution we all agree to Stop at a red light because we know Filling to do so will have consequences Either by hitting someone else who has Agreed to the order or getting a ticket And fine but what happened when the Police refused to go to work after Katrina what happens when the government Can merely make threats of enforcement And future prosecution from safer zones Miles away what happens when the mass Looting in multiple locations cannot be Contained that sort of violent upheaval Reaction follows a realization and Acceptance of the fact that the lights Are not going to come back on the water May be tainted and the police are Overloaded many places around the world Have been in the spot before this is Also when the guard or military is Pressed in the service assuming the Disaster is confined to a specific Geographical area and does it involve The entire country or Nation when the Military is brought in you're under Martial law and your only safe place is Locked away in him from sight now even If it doesn't get that bad the Realization that services will not come Back that safety is less than guaranteed
And agreed upon social contract is now Defunct leads to wide-scale panic you Can expect runs on banks grocery stores Pharmacies gas stations and other places Where resources can be had understand That these resources are quickly Depleted because most businesses do not Have on hand inventory of anything that Would last a hungry population Beyond 72 Hours under normal demand if everyone in Your city or town went out and fill Their gas tanks on all their cars your City or town would be all out of gas by Day's end if everyone Panic bought food Resources at the grocery store to get Them through an uncertain future the Shells and stockrooms would be empty Within hours if everyone Panic bought The lumber to board their Windows Generators utility lights or whatever Other hardware and Equipment they Perceive they needed from their local Chain Hardware Store the store would Have empty aisles and days and some Items within hours Realize that different disasters will Bring about different levels of service Failure police air fire might still Exist but they cannot reach your area Municipal Water and Gas might still flow Through pipes you or the water may be Tainted and the gas shut off to avoid Explosions from damaged pipes Electricity may be down for an estimated
Period or there may be no hope of it Being restored anytime soon you must Assess these things by the available Information you can gather understand That depending upon the severity of the Disaster sewage in human waste may be Piling up people may be wandering in Search of food and water and there may Be courses of humans and animals Beginning to Decay it really depends on The type of disaster while much of that Is unrealistic for a severe storm that Knocks out utility services for over a Week it is entirely possible in the Aftermath of a deadly earthquake Hurricane Cyclone or other mass casualty Events where help may be ways off or not Coming at all Because you are more prepared than the Average masses your evaluation should Assess whether your current location is Sustainable do you have what you need is Your habitat safe will it remain safe When others or in full panic mode after Realizing Civility and Order are gone And it's every man for himself Rule number two stay or go You need to evaluate this rule at every Phase this lead up disaster and Aftermath even before an anticipated Disaster strikes you must determine if Evacuation is possible and doable you May need to leave in the aftermath but Roads may be impassable you must
Consider this rule the days before the Disaster even if it's such an event as a Hurricane that you can see coming during The disaster and after the disaster As with many of the rules I'll provide You here evaluating your strengths and Weaknesses before during and after any Disaster really comes down to the three P's proximity preps and plans what is Your proximity to the disaster or danger Resulting from the disaster if you're Too close with a disaster is heading Your way you must decide quickly whether To lock down in your shelter or leave While you can What are and where are your preps did The disaster strike while you're on the Other side of town or are you at home With your preps what are your current Plans and future plans survival really Comes down to options plans and Forethought provide you with options When your options are narrow and few Your survivability is in Jeopardy Sometimes you have no choice but to Hunker down and wait it out and that may Be your only plan use that time to Develop or Implement your post-disaster Plans always try to have plans a through C to keep your options available Use it three p's proximity preps and Plans with every Rule and at every phase Phase three first month every man for Himself
In small-scale disasters that are Manageable order at some level will be Re-established maybe the lights will Come back on and some services will be Restored along with a schedule and Timeline for further restoration of Services perhaps a curfew in citizen Assistant patrols will re-establish a Livable calm maybe the disaster zone is Cleared and most everyone has migrated To a safer location in most cases that's What happens in most disasters you can Get to this point a restoration of order When there is a hope of recovering Restoration there are disasters however Where there's not even a sparkle of Hope On the horizon Rescue Services go from We can't go in right now to we're not Going to go in even if they aren't that Blunt this is the Everyman for himself Phase where it is more dangerous than The disaster that preceded it when you Have resources and others do not you are A Target when the smell of good cooking Or the sound of a generator floats on The breeze throughout your neighborhood Good people will come and hope you share Bad people will come and take their Share when you prepare don't just set a Few 72 hour kits of food and some Bottled water aside that's a great start For everyone but you have to also Consider your operational security and The security of your location in urban
And Suburban environments people often Live right on top of each other even if They prepare it doesn't mean others have Self-isolation and keeping a low profile Is the best that you can do until some Order is re-established even if that's a New order and the old order will never Return if you get through the first Month and you're still in proximity of Danger your preps are running low and Your plans are few Beyond staying safe Fed and hydrated it's time to follow the Next rule Rule number three pay attention to the Details If you're month into a disaster no help Has arrived the amount of attention you Give to ration your supplies will be Even more crucial but let me emphasize That you must be doing this from the First day water usage counting calories And just being aware of your overall Usage of your inventory will matter more Than ever if you're this far into a Post-collapse situation if you aren't Cutting down trees moving Rubble or Struggling to travel across the Landscape but are tucked away and hidden In your home realize that your caloric Intake does not need to be as great if You are engaged in one of those high Energy Endeavors realize your caloric Needs will be greater than the minimal Baseline to avoid starvation of 1200
Calories a day for women and 1500 a day For men I can't stress the necessity of Having enough stored water even if you Live off a well in your backyard I doubt Anyone in East Palestine Ohio is Drinking their well water after toxic Chemicals leaked into the water after The train derailment also Municipal Water Supplies are frequently damaged in Disasters or the water becomes tainted Have the means to boil filter purify and Treat water and have enough water store To provide for everyone in your family Including your pets for at least three Weeks phase four two months in the Future rebuilding If you made it this far but are still Deep in the aftermath that with no sign Of recovery you can give up on any Recovery coming your way a disaster of This length is commonly referred to in This community as an shdf event This means the government likely will Not be re-established norms and social Order will likely not be re-established Either food and resource Supply chains Will likely not be re-established you Have to accept that you will be going it Alone rebuilding on your own and relying Upon whatever Community you built before During or after the initial disaster Were you part of a social club like a Scouting group a church or a hobbyist Group Mutual assistance group or a club
They may have organically come together To help each other if you are part of a Mutual assistance group you are in a Better situation than most because your Group will already have two of the PS Preps and plans it is likely that at a Two-month or more Mark makeshift Services like police fire and medical May have been restored at a very basic Level depending on how strong your Community is it is natural for people to Come together after a disaster for their Protection and survival it is also Natural for groups to form who are more Of your marauding and Lawless type these Two forces will eventually conflict with The each other and your area May Resemble a war zone or high crime Zone At times even as your thoughts need to Turn to rebuilding re-establishing food And water resources and restoring Whatever else has been destroyed by the Disaster and aftermath At the two-month Mark and into the Future if you're going to stay in your Area you have to figure out how to Rebuild and restore a livable order for Yourself and your community but you have To genuinely evaluate your situation for Example how close are you in proximity To danger or to a safer Locale is Everything fine in the next state over And if so maybe it's time for you to Plan to try it and get there what's the
Status of your preps at this point in Time those who are not prepared at all Are either dead gone or taking from Others and the population is dwindled Along with the resources if you are out Of supplies or running low you may have No choice but to leave or regroup and Then there are your plans is there even A plan for the future or will you need To find somewhere else to make your Plans if you have been in a constant Lockdown or martial law period or there Is still a nuclear or biological threat That you're waiting out you will need to Be calculating when it is safe to Re-emerge or flee to safer areas always Be planning a range of possible next Moves rule number four prepare according To your situation What are your most likely threats in Your area have you given that much Thought before do you live next to a Large industrial or manufacturing Facility do you know what chemicals they Likely use are they constantly being Cited for safety concerns if you don't Know these things you need to try to Find out you live next to a train track That constantly carries hazardous Chemicals the residents in East Palestine Ohio unfortunately learned That painful lesson does your area have A history of earthquakes tornadoes or Other natural disasters what's the worst
Event of this type in the historical Record we did a video on the channel Providing a detailed risk assessment Tool to help you in your research when Evaluating the most likely threats in Your area which we'll link to in the Description section below Phase five the future known and unknown If you make it beyond the three-month Mark and are in a rebuilding phase are Still getting to that phase understand That your world will likely never return To any semblance of the way it was Before understand too that whatever Plans you had that got you to this point May not be tenable in the future After the three months of what you need To survive is used up your world may be So significantly changed that it's a Very different prep that you must rely Upon that prep is your accumulation of Skills and knowledge your skills and Knowledge are the known whereas the Future is your unknown here I suggest That after this video you review our Video in three months is all you need is A prepper which I'll link to at the end In that video I'll go into much greater Detail about what you will need to Survive the first three months after Disaster and why after 90 days it will Be entirely dependent upon you and your Skills and knowledge I'll be honest with You having a year supply of food and
Water for yourself is great but it is Absolutely not a guarantee that you will Ever see the disaster's first Anniversary Disaster May strike when you're in the Next town over or you may be cut off From your supplies altogether Too many intangibles accompany a Disaster of that magnitude from Compounded follow-on disasters to Marauders to makeshift governments to a Sudden case of appendicitis or some Other acute medical emergency understand That your survival Beyond 90 days will Come down to your previously accumulated Skills and knowledge those are your most Vital preps Beyond 90 days those are Also the preps that cannot be taken from You so I would encourage you to watch That video three months is all you need Is a prepper which I'll link to at the End of the video Rule number five information Being informed is gathering the Information you need to make 3p Decisions proximity preps and plans this Is done through observation Communications like radios internet Broadcasts or other electronic dependent Sources the second part of rule number Five is knowing what you need to know if You depend solely on YouTube videos or The internet to learn skills you need to Know you're going to be in trouble
Develop skills as a core prep but also Have physical manuals Maps guides and Printed materials to learn from and Continually inform your decisions do you Know how to forge for food from the wild While others depends solely on canned And mylar-packed food do you know how to Garden and have seeds to do so can you Build a precipitation collection system Or a solar water distiller you might not Have all the prepping equipment you need You might not have the space for what You'll need for the full range of Possible disasters but if you have the Tools and some know-how or resources to Learn from what you know and can know Will get you through the unknowns of the Future what you know before disaster Strikes will allow you to Pivot in Uncertain and unknown times for instance You should have paper maps and Understand evacuation routes areas of Safety and resources in the light but Disasters can dramatically alter Landscapes Maps can be rendered almost Entirely useless if you don't also know How to read maps navigate with a compass And travel without vehicles know what You need to know before disaster strikes And know how to keep informed after it Has For disasters you have five distinct Human behavior phases you have shock you Have Panic you have every man for
Himself you have rebuilding either with A group or by oneself when it's safe to Begin that process and then you have the Unknown future you also have five rules For surviving first take advantage of The Calm before and the shot phase after The disaster to get to safety or if safe Get what you need though you should be Prepped already hopefully now second Assess whether you should stay or go Every day before and all the days after If a toxic cloud a flow of lava Wildfire Army or flood is coming your way on day Three you should get moving you will Know through the information channels You established performing disaster and Your observations in the aftermath Continually evaluate using the three p's That we discussed in the video whether You should stay or you should go and Third have at least 90 days of preps at A bare minimum of food water and Equipment that's necessary more is great But less less than that will drastically Reduce your chances of survival in the Long term catastrophic shtf disaster and Fourth prep for the disasters that you Might face but definitely prepare for The ones that you will likely face and Finally the fifth rule is to prepare Skills knowledge and non-electronic Resources to help you navigate rebuild And ultimately survive in any unknown And uncertain future if you understand
The five phases and the five rules your Odds of surviving go way up if you have Any thoughts any feedback or any Questions feel free to post that in the Comments section below and as always Stay safe out there
