Prepping to Survive

Stay Safe by Raising Your Level of Awareness
During these times of emergency, you can either choose to be proactive or reactive. The difference is that by being proactive, you are more in control of the situation. If you’re reactive like most people, your awareness level is low.

Sudden acts of violence that seem to spring out of nowhere can take you by surprise because you’re unaware of what is going on around you. There are thousands of people who have been victims of thefts, rape, robberies and murders – all because they weren’t aware of their surroundings. All preppers should remember this mantra – if you’re not looking for it, you won’t see it coming!

Look out for things that seem off
The first step to raising your level of awareness is to look out for things that may seem amiss or out of the ordinary. During a time of crisis, crimes will skyrocket. Even during peace time, criminals are constantly looking for an opportunity to strike and they want an easy victim. It’s going to be someone… but you don’t want it to be you. If you notice the same guy walking by the street outside your house several times and you’ve never seen him before, do alert law enforcement. Do not assume he’s a landscaper. Something is amiss, and you need to be proactive.

He could be casing your house with intentions to break in at night. It’s better to err on the side of caution.
