  1. Just a question… lets say I wake up in the middle of my sleep time to my fire alarm. Does that constitute an emergency? If so, should I just call 911 and wait for the trained professionals to deal with it? Or would it be better to call 911, then get my family out safely, if possible grab important documents and maybe some cash, then go outside and turn on the hose and cool down what I can (either my house or my neighbor’s house) until the fire department shows up?

    If the later, then is (having a family evac plan in place, important docs all in one place to grab in a hurry, maybe even a plan to try and suppress the fire as best I can until the pros show up, etc) not considered prepping?

    1. Yes, of course it would be prepping. And that series of personal well planned specific responses would be exactly the correct action on your part. Having a correct & well planed situational response to a particular dangerous incident is exactly what every prudent person should ave ready for implementation when needed. Once the plan, and any required tools or important items, are made ready for future use, your get-ready activity is done, You are ready. there is no real need to do more ,Intros example, You most likely would have fire insurance protection ( all mortgages require that specific in an amount necessary to cover their lien on your house ) that will provide partial financial assistance for new clothes, temporary shelter, and possibly a rental car. And because you were prudent and farsighted and responsible, the deadly house fire would be a serious incident, but not for you, wold it be an emergency. at the same time the exact same incident may well have beeb a serious emergency for your less prudent, less responsible neighbor. hood residents.

      I had not though about the possible incident you have envisioned as being a true act of preparedness, but it surly is and it would be appropriate for everyone to have such a plan in place.
      I do appreciate your question and I hope that you have caused other preppers to think in these lines.
      May I suggest that you consider finding a way to encourage your neighborhood to talk about each having such a plan in place, From there you may help them to do as you have done.

  2. I found this article hard to wrap my head around at first. I almost quit reading it as it saw just not coming together for me. I’m glad I didn’t. By part two, you pulled it all together and I want to thank you. You have changed my way of thinking.

    My God Bless you and keep you, may he make his face shine upon you, and give you his peace.
