I was just wondering what to be prepared for a natural disaster what would you need in your survival kit?

Okay, the following is a good list for any emergency survival kit in case of natural (or otherwise) disaster.
Basic Survival needs: nonperishable food (cans work best, dried food, the like), clean water supply or the means to make it clean, blankets, flashlight, batteries, bandages, disinfectant, gauze, cold packs, portable heat source (if using fire fuel, don’t forget a fire starter and a safe way to contain it, coffee cans work well), pain reliever, burn cream, other first aid as needed.

Miscellaneous: radio, signal (such as a flare), scissors and/or knife, GPS locator (optional, they sell these for skiers), and also helpful, a handgun and ammunition (sounds extreme, but when times get difficult, looting is rampant and you need to be able to protect your family and your resources, so keep one in the kit, and learn how to use it).
That’s a complete kit. Keep it in a convenient location so you can retrieve it quickly when needed.

I’ve always been fascinated with the weather and I’m curious as to which natural disaster intrigues you. The ones that intrigues me the most are tornados – just something about them has always left me in awe.

electrical storms, ever seen one? nature at its finest, i was here in Buffalo, nY for the October surprise last year, thunder/wind/sleet/everything storm, took us weeks to recoup, craziest thing i’ve ever seen, and we get tons of storms here

how are inmates kept safe when something like this happens? Does anyone care or just figure that if they did they crime this is their punishment?
Criminal or not, every human has the right to be safe.
So the question is this: what is state protocol during a natural disaster?

you have to read this site to understand why I asked the question

You can’t keep someone safe from some catastrophes. In a situation like that it is every man for himself. If he tries to take advantage of the situation, the nervous guards are likely to kill him.

Even under ideal conditions, prison is probably the least safe place you could be. By that logic nobody would ever get locked up.

I really like the song natural disaster by the Plain White T’s, but it’s not on iTunes!

Omg! I really like that song too and I was so mad when I went to buy it on iTunes and it wasn’t there. I know it will come out when the new album comes out on September 23 but hopefully natural disaster will come out a few days before.

Can someone please name me the place and the natural disaster? Example: Indonesia-volcanoes and that kind of stuff. It would be good if it was more specific. Example Indonesia, Jakarta-volcanoes (eample only)
Thanks!! Please be nice!:)

Oklahoma, USA – Tornadoes
Florida, USA – Hurricanes
California, USA – Earthquakes
California, USA – Forest fires

I’m looking for groups that can be called upon in the event of a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, a tsunami, or a cyclone or something. I’m looking in New Zealand though, so things like the Earthquake Commission could be useful.

you can call the groups which r most essential that time
fprexample if the earthquake held then u must call the group of diging which may dig and save the life of people u may call the group of ambulance which may take the people to the safer place
if u face the firey situation u may call the group of fire brigede

Thought that Izoold being plagued by plane crashes was enough? Well that’s only the tip of the iceberg as Mother Nature has quite the concoction for us. Meanwhile, industry is building up overseas, commercial expansion isn’t going so well and residential zones continue to improve, but stay mostly the same. What calamity will befall the city of Izoold now? Find out in this video!

Enjoy!
