Regardless of your opinion on FEMA or your politics, the fact that people are gathering locally to plan and prepare for disasters is a societal good. Be the neighbor you want others to be. (this article is behind a paywall unfortunately) nytimes.com/2025/06/26/us/…
Three cheers for the scientists that predicted this, the government that evacuated the town, and the townsfolk for listening and leaving. Sometimes you need to bugout and no amount of prepping can save you.

Support your local rancher and farmer. @pclarkallen @longstoryfarms @LaurenInTheWild FYSA if you were not tracking this.
Dear friends. Once again, we find ourselves at decisive point. Moneyed interests are trying to slip a dangerous anti-America First policy past the White House over a long holiday weekend. This time, allowing parasite-exposed beef imports from South America. 1/3
Preparedness can seem overwhelming if you are trying to be resilient to any and all hazards. Think of this chart not as a checklist, but as an opportunity list. What do you want to improve in your household? Hat tip: Prepper Link and @LaurenInTheWild for sending me this.

I want to urge you to go ahead and pre order your copy of this book by a man I consider a friend but whose accomplishments and expertise in this are are unparalleled, Dr Chris Ellis. (@Prep4Disasters)
In an age where Ivy League undergraduates are using AI to write their term papers and attending universities simply for the credentialing, young adults like the below will offer something real.
My 19 yo built his first structural arch today. Just a small bldg project behind the house but something he will see often as the years go by and reflect.
It's known in the news business that "if it bleeds, it leads." But too much doomscrolling is unhealthy. News avoidance is on the rise. Take a break, put the phone away, go touch some grass. statista.com/chart/27632/pr…

Interest in preppers who are left-of-center is catching on. It experienced a bump after President Trump's first inauguration as well. Resilience is not politically coded and right/left have overlap in the space. However, there are definite cleavage points as well.…
Disaster can happen this fast. Bug out bags should be one of your first preps.
