People prepare for many different times of crisis. More than likely, you are reading this article because you are also interested in keeping yourself and your family safe when disaster strikes. When it comes to disaster preparedness, most people tend to focus on natural disasters or a SHTF moment, such as a meteor strike or nuclear detonation. The fact of the matter is, however, we live in a world that is unstable, at best. That is why it is important to consider all forms of trouble and prepare as good as we can to survive.
One of the issues that could very well have been is an economic collapse. This could either take place on a global scale or it may take place on more of a localized or national scale. Some people feel as if a financial collapse is just too far-fetched of a scenario but the fact of the matter is that we have come very close in recent years to the problem taking place.
A number of different issues could result in a collapse of the financial system. One of the primary issues as if the dollar happens to lose value quickly and it results in hyperinflation. Another problem that could occur is for a computer virus to sweep through an area or worldwide and lead to an Internet crash, resulting in banks closing down and credit not being available. Other issues could easily affect the economy in such a way, including widespread violence and terrorist attacks. There are also those who believe that the Federal Reserve is pushing things toward an economic collapse on purpose.
When such a disaster occurs, it is important to be prepared. There is not typically any sign that a collapse is on the horizon and it may take place so quickly that it catches most people unawares. Businesses will begin shutting down, grocery stores will have their selves stripped and the dollar will be worth very little, if anything.
Having a supply of food and water is one of the more important things to think of during this time of economic problems. Begin building your survival pantry now, storing enough food and fresh water to keep your family safe for several months. By food in bulk, including rice and dried beans along with canned foods. These have a long shelf life and can keep you nourished.
Be sure that you don’t keep all of your money tied up at any given time. Always have some cash on hand in the form of $20 bills. These can be used to buy water on the street or to bribe your way out of a situation that would otherwise be disastrous. Maintain your health at the highest level possible and prepare yourself with survival skills so that you can take care of your family during a difficult time.
More than likely, a financial collapse is only going to be a temporary situation. During that time, people will panic but if you are prepared in advance, you can keep your family safe.
