There are other kinds of disasters besides a hurricane, flood or tornado! These include military conflict, electromagnetic pulse, biological warfare, communicable disease, and electronic warfare. In case of nuclear war, I don’t know what kind of preparedness would do any good in the long run!
We speak often of emergency medical kits. These contain such items as medical supplies, bandages, medicines, flashlights, and weather radios. But we pay much less attention to financial first aid!
There are far more detailed lists than the suggestions I provide in this podcast. But I prefer you put together a simple list like mine rather than be overwhelmed by a huge list and then do nothing. My simple list is more of a plan than most Americans have! So take the time now to organize your emergency financial first aid kit!
