Published: May 21, 2013

Recent news of the Oklahoma tornado has left many grief-stricken and homeless; the town of Oklahoma in shambles. While tornadoes, tsunamis, floods and earthquakes are sadly common in all parts of the world, no one really expects a natural disaster to hit them so close to home. Learning how to be prepared, no matter where you live, is a great way to ensure that if and when a natural disaster does hit, you are ready to overcome all obstacles.

While preventing natural disasters are inevitable, we can reduce damage, save lives and help to rebuild homes faster if we are more prepared for times of extreme calamity. From emergency survival kits, storm-locating maps, compact food survival sources to handy convertible car roof boats, instant, convenient and simple disaster essentials are a must for everyone to have.
