If you are in an area prone to certain types of natural disasters; flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes or earthquakes PLEASE don't wait until the problem is upon you, it will be TOO LATE to order!
I can't tell you how many times someone has called to get a Berkey or EnerFood order delivered next day, only to find that UPS, USPS nor Fed Ex will not deliver into a 'disaster zone'.
The recent earthquake in Chile will have repercussions for most of us here in the U.S. Much like the recent abnormally cold weather has increased prices on fruits such as oranges and strawberries, this earthquake will cause increases in prices on many fruit and seafood items that originate in Chile. The ports and roads are virtually impassable making it impossible to get items to market.
There are several articles listed here that are worth reading. If you have not thought about your 'preparedness level', we urge you to consider where you are and the possibilities.
We feel that you must think in terms of those items that give you the greatest possible chance of surviving and thriving. You do not want to compromise your health and immune system. Lack of nutrition is dangerous and can lead to illness. If you are in a survival situation, illness and low energy are not what you want!
Of course, there are multiple things that you need to consider when preparing. The following links will help you get to a level of preparedness you might feel comfortable with.
