You won’t believe how these people survive

CIA taught me that you can’t avoid disaster – you can only prepare for it. Accepting that truth is not easy. Disaster planning doesn’t have to be scary, stressful or serious – it can be simple, professional and predictable. I train dozens of people every year how to prepare their families, offices, and households for disaster. I’ve worked with teachers, police officers, military members and more to bring CIA tactics and techniques into their everyday life to protect their homes, families, and business assets. Whether your concern is extreme weather or political upheaval, here are 3 real-world skills you can apply to secure yourself and the people who rely on you. - Skill #1: Set primary and secondary escape routes Know the area around your home and office by memory, extending at least 2 miles in all directions. Don’t rely on GPS or paper maps to help you when panic strikes – use knowledge and planning to use less popular roads to get away. - Skill #2: Put extra resources in-place before you need them Pack extra food, water, clothing, and tools into portable bags you can store in your car, office, garage and even your child’s school locker. The best thing to do in a disaster isn’t always to run… sometimes it's better to stay in place until help arrives. - Skill #3: Create a plan to stay in touch with the people you love The biggest stressor in any disaster isn’t what happens to you, it’s knowing what has happened to the ones you love. Whether it's kids at school or a spouse at work, have a plan to communicate quickly and often with your loved ones immediately after disaster strikes. (Don’t count on cell-phones or wi-fi… both will either crash or be blocked for emergency personnel use only.) Be one of the few ready to respond quickly and effectively to any disaster that strikes. Because disaster will strike…. You know it, I know it, and every intel professional out there has a plan for that day. You should, too.
