Il 12 ottobre 1492 la Storia dell'uomo fu segnata da un evento epocale. La storia stessa, per come la conosciamo e studiamo, ha in quella data il segno dell'inizio dell'epoca moderna.

"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.

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.
