What can we expect to happen to us, living in the shadows of the everlasting hills? We live communities where we enjoy the many comforts that money and advancements have afforded us. We live in communities, which for the most part will have a good first responder system in place. Most Fire/EMS departments are now staffed by full time Fire/EMS personnel. As a Firefighter EMT myself, I appreciate living in a city with good full time Emergency personnel. However, I see danger that some may not see.
If you live in a city or area where the fire department or fire district is staffed by 6 or 8 full time firemen, you may feel safe and for the most part, you will be able to get help when help is needed. However, if you need help and others need help simultaneously, your response time may be extended or it may simply be impossible to help you. This is not because the first responders do not want to come to your aid, it may be that they simply cannot, because of strained resources. We have many examples of this today. With the risk of a possible catastrophic event on the horizon, we cannot depend on First Responders or anyone else to come to our aid. Thus, we must be prepared.
This thought process will carry over into finances, food storage, and general preparedness. I will also try to address the very important need of understanding and having the proper first aid tools available. If you have helps, comments or questions please let me know. Thanks for visiting the site.
