“Survival starts by paying attention to what is close at hand and immediate. To look out with idle hope is tantamount to dreaming one’s life away.” – Yann Martel, author
Most of us would agree that the world seems to be crazier than ever before. Each and every day we learn about bankrupt nations being forced to implement painful austerity programs. Here in the United States our own so called “elected representatives” refuse to address our own out-of-control spending. Not only do we have worry about a slowing global economy, but we need to be on the guard against natural disasters, or a new war with Iran, civil wars and violence spreading in the Middle East, fears of global pandemics, or a solar event that could destroy our power grid, not to mention the threat of radiation from the crippled nuclear facility in Japan…It’s enough to make you go mad! How can you expect to protect your family from all of these horrific events and the civil unrest that would surely follow?
Knowing where to start is half the battle. Learning what you can do should any one of these catastrophic events happen is essential. Simply electing to ignore these threats isn’t the answer. That is why we created SurvivalWeek.com, send out our weekly eMail Dispatch and have created our monthly eNewsmagazine, The Beacon, which focuses on the essential preparations for all likeminded preppers. We have also created the Thinking the Unthinkable series of reports in order to educate you to these many threats gathered on our horizon. This is our core mission: wake people up, educate them on the threats, and help get our families and communities prepared!
