Do You have Disaster Survival Skills?

Posted on by Sissy Neel

You are a person of many skills.  Everyone is.  We all learn skills that help us navigate through our world.  But do you have disaster survival skills to survive, if the world changed?

You can learn new skills and habits that could save your life, or your family, in an emergency…or you could use skills that will get you dead.    An example of this is a business woman who wears high heeled shoes and a fitted skirt to work.  This skill helps her appear polished for her job.  That is a good skill.  But if the building she was in lost power and had to be evacuated because of a bomb, this skill could cost her dearly.  However, if she learned to keep a gym bag with comfortable clothes and tennis shoes under her desk, that could save her life.  It is important to learn to do things that will keep you safe in dire situations.  We will be discussing many skills that are important to know.  We will also be discussing tools that you should have and know how to use.  No gadget is anything but weight if you can’t use it.

  • Emergency Response and First Aid
  • Home Securement
  • Water Safety
  • Food Securement
  • Staying Warm
  • Staying Dry
  • Getting Power
  • and much much more!

I hope that you can join us.  There are so many things to do.  You would be surprised at how close you are to being prepared. You can gain survival preparedness skills that will better your everyday life as well.  Most people have many elements of preparation in their homes, they just are not readily accessible in an emergency.  I am here to help you change that in your life.

Don’t be a victim…or a statistic.

Sissy is on a mission to prove that peace of mind doesn't require a bunker or a massive bank account. As a practical preparedness advocate, she noticed a major gap in the survival industry: most information written is for "hardcore" survivalists, leaving the rest of us feeling overwhelmed and under-equipped. With the release of her book, ‘Be Prepared by Friday’ Quick Start Guide, Sissy has become a voice for practical prepping. She specializes in teaching how to start prepping for beginners on a budget, stripping away the "doom-and-gloom" and replacing it with actionable, common-sense steps. Whether she’s designing emergency preparedness strategies for soccer moms, helping college students secure their dorm rooms, or guiding seniors through medication readiness, Sissy’s approach is always the same: grounded, rational, and rooted in FEMA and Red Cross guidelines. When she isn’t updating her solid prepper wish list or helping families build their "working pantries," Sissy is passionate about helping the "average Joe" realize that they already have the most important survival tool: the right mindset. She believes that while we can't control the weather or the news, we can control how ready we are for the unexpected.

    • It is very important to take care of your family. We should not be scared but we need to be vigilant. There are too many variables in life to be unprepared is unwise.

  5. I like your site. You have some very important topics to blog on. People need to be aware of what they have already in their homes and surroundings and also skills they can use to be better prepared in an emergency. It is so important to have a plan and discuss it with everyone in the family. Excellent niche! 🙂 Janette

    • Thanks for the kind words. Most people have the stuff in their house. They just have to organize it so it’s easily accessible. And have a plan.
