National Preparedness Month: Why Most People Still Aren’t Ready
September is National Preparedness Month, but despite years of warnings about hurricanes, power outages, winter storms, cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, and other emergencies, millions of Americans are still unprepared.
In this episode of The Prepping Academy Podcast, Forrest Garvin looks at why so many people put off emergency preparedness and, more importantly, how you can start preparing without spending thousands of dollars or becoming overwhelmed.
Preparedness isn't just about stockpiling food. It's about water, emergency communications, medical preparedness, financial preparedness, home security, transportation, practical survival skills, and community.
You'll also learn five practical things you can do during National Preparedness Month to make yourself and your family more resilient — including building a two-week water supply, strengthening your emergency food storage, creating a family communication plan, keeping emergency cash available, and connecting with other preparedness-minded people.
Whether you're brand new to prepping or have been preparing for years, the goal isn't perfection. It's progress.
Preparedness is a lifestyle built one step at a time. The best time to prepare was yesterday. The second-best time is today.
