Mr. Prepared Says Being Scared Makes You Safe!

Earthquakes in China. Cyclones in Burma. Tornados in the Midwest. Wildfires in California and Florida. There’s been a big run of horrible disasters all around the world this year, and hurricane season has just begun with 15 named storms this year forecasted by the Hurricane Center in Miami. It makes you think – and those of you lucky enough not to have ever been in a big disaster or emergency situation may wonder what you would do if you were in an emergency situation. One thing you can’t and shouldn’t avoid, believe it or not – is panic!

I’m Mr. Prepared, and yes, I’m actually saying that panic is good for you. The worst thing people do in a real disaster is never panicking. Panic actually makes you take action, which, of course, is much better than sitting around and doing nothing. But, believe it or not, almost everyone actually does do just that – nothing until an emergency arrives!

After interviewing hundreds of survivors of disasters, researches have found that most people don’t react – instead, they go numb and don’t move, because they’re in shock over what’s happening around them. And that’s how most victims get the worst of it. They think they’re helpless and it’s up to fate whether they live or die. Mr. Prepared thinks that most of the time, you can help fate work in your favor – by thinking through your options and helping to save yourself and those around you by being prepared and having a 72 survival kit!

So don’t ever bank your chances of surviving a natural disaster or emergency on luck get a kit now, don’t wait. Crossing your fingers doesn’t really help. In the majority of situations, your life is in your hands – it’s a matter of how you react and – as Mr. Prepared likes to remind you – how you prepare. That is why I said, get a kit now!! Because while many people fail to take action to save their lives during a disaster, many more fail to take action before a disaster – and that’s just as crucial!

So take steps now to make sure your emergency preparedness plans are up to snuff. A safely-stored supply of food and water is essential, as well as a good first aid kid, flashlights, a weather radio, even an electric generator is a great idea, because you don’t know which essential services could be cut off – or for how long!

Mr. Prepared has rated his products on his “3P” system so families can know what they need to stay prepared. Mr. Prepared’s system is 1P “It’s a Start!”, 2Ps “You’re Getting There!” and 3Ps “You’re prepared.” You can even ask Mr. Prepared himself for advice.

If you don’t react properly during an emergency, you put yourself and your family in more jeopardy. If you don’t prepare properly for an emergency, the same thing. That’s why being scared keeps you safe – it makes you take the proper action by purchasing your emergency supplies prior to an emergency so that you can be prepared for anything. Bye for now, be safe be prepared! I’m Mr. Prepared – bringing Awareness to Preparedness!
