So you're not in the camp of 'the government will help me' but you're in the camp 'a private company will help me' ?

Only you can know what supplies and know-how you will need for the specific disaster scenarios that you might encounter.

I'm sure you don't need more than 2 hours to make a plan and one hour a month after that to buy the things you would need. If you care enough you should be able to find the time.



Don't recall saying anything about government or private companies. A bit strange to claim how only an individual can know what they need on an article about what people need. And I explicitly meant more prep than I can indeed do in 2 hours or with a month's discretionary income, not to mention the possibility of helping others do it.

I can see you're really chomping at the bit to attack, attack, attack somebody, but why don't you go find a better target? Or, failing that, stop jamming words in my mouth and then attacking those?


Sorry if it came as an attack it was not my intention. I apologize. English is not my native language and I'm afraid I did a poor job at explaining myself.

What I meant was : don't loose your time with a private company that will send you probably useless prep stuff since they don't know you, your needs and the scenarios you're preparing for.

I believe you will always do better than them even if you don't dedicate a whole lot of time to it.

I was comparing the government and private companies since I believe they will do both a poor job helping you get prepared.
