"It's better to be safe than sorry" is a widely used phrase worldwide, and mostly everyone knows it. Despite this saying, many don't take the necessary actions to prepare for devastating accidents and disasters. As a result, when these startling emergencies arise, many individuals find themselves unequipped with the vital supplies that will help save a life.

Disasters occur unexpectedly. Everyone, both rich and poor, suffer from the same effects and even lose lives in extreme cases. What makes the difference is the level of preparation done in facing these significant events. Some people tend to be complacent because they live in disaster-safe locations. Living in a large, professionally-constructed home in luxurious communities make some people feel as if they are invincible from disasters.

We don't want to be added to the statistics in a negative way, but if we don't prepare for these events, we just might. You see, in all these tragic cases, the civilians, the simple people, those who just want to continue living their lives, they are the ones who are always left confused and helpless. And it's not because they weren't informed - we all have access to the news now - so, the problem is not information dissemination.

There are many kinds of disasters. Some are natural and some are results of human activities. Humans are always at risk whether they believe it or not. Coastal states fear tsunamis.

There are also hurricanes wreaking havoc in their wake all the world.

Knowledge and correct information are the first steps to survival. There are generic preparations that are appropriate for every emergency situation. However, concrete and careful planning is needed for you and your family to survive during emergency situations.

Nearly all kinds of ancient mythology and religions were constructed from early civilizations trying to make sense of their surroundings. The idea of science was completely unknown to them; rather they explained natural phenomena as done by mythical deities.
