Pandemics and plagues have been ravaging the human species for our entire existence. Until modern times, your were more likely to die from an illness or starvation than anything else.

The 1918 flu pandemic infected 500 million people while the Black Death is estimated to have killed 30-60% of the population in Europe.

Floods are perhaps the deadliest and most destructive of all natural disasters. The rush of water can destroy buildings, wash away cars and people in a matter of minutes.

They can happen anywhere: cities, towns, the countryside. Even desert dwellers can be surprised with flash flooding. 

You only need to watch a few videos to see what can happen in the extreme cases, and flash floods happen all the time in the US.

Hurricanes can be some of the most destructive forces on earth. Intense winds along with flooding can cause multiple damage vectors. Getting prepared ahead of time is critical since Hurricane warnings will only come a few days in advance. 

There are a few key issues to plan for:

• Home Fortification: Wind & Water Mitigation
• Long Term Power Outage: Food Storage / Lighting / Hygiene 
• Preparing for Evacuation

If you live on the east coast of the US, or in Hawaii, prepping for hurricanes and cyclones is an annual activity!
