RuralSurvival.Info
RuralSurvival.info is a loose consortium of Emergency Management. Survival and Security Specialist dedicated to creating and perpetuating self-reliance over dependency.Our Mission Statement:
It is the common intent of the owners,
the associates of RuralSurvival.info and
presumably of the content contributors
to RuralSurvival.info
to use
said web
site for the following primary purposes:
To disseminate non-partisan, apolitical information to those
persons, farms, ranches, orchards
and other rurally located and/or agricultural enterprises and entities
for whom
reasonable and responsible mitigation ideas, plans and principles are
not realistically available; and,
to provide a centralized and very well known directory for the use of
the
general public to view business entities that have goods and/or
services for sale to the general public that are related to emergent
and/or survival happenstances; and,
to provide a standardized and categorized subject area whereupon
experts and professionals in the related fields of emergency
management, disaster preparedness and survival skills may post their
views, methods and ideas.
Discussion:
In todays fast
tracked world of urban
life and the suburban lifestyle and sprawl, the people that feed this
country are often
forgotten. There exists little data for rural persons to utilize to
plan for significant or cataclysmic disasters. Apparently, in
areas where 911 is more of a joke than a reality, in areas where a
call for an ambulance means a wait of hours instead of minutes, in
areas where fire protection means having enough water hose to reach
to reach the fire, the local populace has been all but forgotten.
It should be noted that even in a major metropolitan area such as New
Orleans, LA, Hurricane Katrina demonstrated the government's inability
to cope with such a disaster.
Therefore, the reason for this web
site's existence; i.e., empowering people to do for themselves, to
think for themselves and therefore causing the enabling of people to
make prudent and logical decisions and to take actions that may serve
to prevent loss of life, loss of livelihood and/or loss of loved ones.
We hope to make a difference, even if it is just a
small one.
Emergency Services Professionals, Emergency Management
Professionals, Medical Professionals, and all other knowledgeable
persons
that have an interest in disaster mitigation and preparedness are most
welcome
to contribute content to this site. Further
