Every one knows war is the sign of bad times not just for the countries at conflict with one another but others surrounding or close by them. It is the last thing anyone wants to see… death and carnage.
Throughout the last 100 years, wars have been raging. Each generation has seen some type of war whether it is a world war, civil war and a small conflict between countries. Students learn about each battle through books and from talks of people have lived through them, whether they were in the war or not.
Most know that there are no winners in wars because deaths rise drastically. Even now, there are parts of the world at war. With this in mind, how can people prepare to survive should someone wish to attack us? (American soil was tainted recently on Sept. 11, 2001 when a terrorist group hijacked four planes, slamming them into three buildings.)
No one knows where an attack may happen next, so the best time to prepare is now. In fact, many people should already be prepared. Why is this? People should be prepared for natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes and tornadoes and there is not much difference between those emergency kits and the war emergency kit.
Country residents do not have the power to change the fact of going to war even though they know they will be in the midst of it. The most anyone can do is prepare for it.
People need to stock up on food (canned goods preferably) and water. Clothing should also be grabbed because each piece of clothing can cover the mouth and the nose. If need be, find sunglasses to keep the particles of dust out. This will be prevalent from the bombings.
To stay alive, residents can also look into what kind of planning the government put into protecting them. There should be underground bunkers with food and medical supplies for many people. Innocent people and fighting soldiers who have been injured wind up in these places for treatment.
For people who live in the bigger cities of the United States often have more than one center to turn to. Before a strike happens, each household should be aware where these are located in reference to where they are when the attack ensues. Railroad yards will have facilities like these.
When a war breaks out over a country’s soil, laws are broken down and civil unrest is possible. For people looking to survive, turning to government may not always work. Citizens should have a weapon of some type to protect themselves and their families. It is possible that when war breaks out, that the country could also fall into a civil war.
Governments should also be stocked up on fuels, water purifying systems and mobile refineries and decontamination services.
Even before a government goes to war, it should have a combined effort of several services. Those include police, healthcare, fire and public utilities providers such as gas and electric. If the government is able to get those entities to cooperate, then its civilians will be better off.
People can prepare themselves for the war but really they are at the mercy of the government in what happens. Even though this may be true, people can still collect the much-needed items to survive.
Now many people think there is no benefit to sharing information with other countries. However, there is a benefit to sharing data about self-protection with the public. Other country authorities hearing this can help to get the “warring” countries to talk and perhaps come to an agreement of some type to avoid a major conflict. As citizens, this is something every one would love to have. With more advanced weaponry being built, a country could be wiped out in just minutes. This leaves only a small window of time to prepare and get underground before the first blast.
