Surviving, for real.... zombies or no zombies.

Jun 18, 2007 14:43

Planning a disaster FOR a disaster is always tricky..... but doing it as a "Zombie uprising" made it a bit more fun....
many, many people are doing a better job than I of helping you figure out what you need in the event of a real zombie uprising disaster.. so i will link to them and suggest you go read their advice and links:

also, keep all of your important legal papers together in a large water resistant envelope. You can grab it in one hand and toss it into what you are tossing stuff into.

The CDC has a good site: http://www.bt.cdc.gov/ it is the Emergency Preparedness and Response site.

I am a public health nurse, I am not sure you knew that.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is also advising that scanned documents while helpful in locating information don't count as legal documents. What can help is to have a Public Notary affix an affadavit that a document is a true and accurate representation of the documents involved. For myself, I have a flashdrive that I have scanned everything that means anything to me into.

By the way to set the record straight, I no longer work for any official organ or instrument of the United States Government.

I had my third heart attack while on an Incident site in 1998 and that was the end of that.

Many thanks to those who have been generous in calling me a professional again.

They are not generous. You are a professional.
Whether you are on site or not.
Providing links and information to help people prepare is an extremely valuable service. You are taking time to do that unpaid.

Giving of yourself freely is the greatest service.
You know that to be truth.

fabricdragon June 18 2007, 19:44:51 UTC

you are welcome, but no generosity needed.
you are being professional, and you have more knowledge and etc than most of us.. AND you manage to explain it in ways that the non FEMA crowd can understand....
thats pretty rare.

Let me go back and rephrase this slightly.... mysryael June 18 2007, 21:51:55 UTC

You ladies are very gracious and I thank you but what I meant in my all too whiny way, (well it seemed whiny to me when I re-read it) was that I am no longer professionally affiliated with any of the aforementioned organizations and my statements should please not be taken as coming down from or representing in any way those organizations....

Thanks

AS to managing to explain what I did and why? I got a story to tell y'all one of these days about Boy scouts, and a raccoon a and a sugar cube and how I learned to explain things not using million dollar essays and fifty dollar words. Think explaining to 6 and 7 year olds and you are on the right track....

Camin puts her hands in her back pockets and shuffles off whystling something that sounds suspiciously like "You can have anything you want in Alice's Restaurant"

'ceptin' Alice....

now i want to hear the racoon story >pouts<
i teach spinning to 6 -8 year olds... i learned to put things into small steps pretty fast.

Mammas don't let your cub scouts go out and feed raccoons. pt1 mysryael June 19 2007, 03:30:08 UTC

There is no nice way to put this. I was an idiot one day when I decided to show some cub scouts WHY you don't feed critters in the wild by leaving food out and loose in a camp ( ... )

He dropped that sugar cube into the water to wash it, and promptly lost the sugar cube. He went fishing for it in the dish with those pretty little hand and finally actually dumped the dish to look for it. NOT happy, and I sat there and watched little boys getting more and more upset... Okay so strike two Camin, what do you do to get out of this one ( ... )

Long story short (tooo late), One of my kindly little devils (the cub scout type) snuck into the kitchen and gave the raccoon a JAR (16 ounces) of peanut butter. Opened the jar for the little masked terrorist and about 5 minutes after this he came running for me because the Raccoon was crying, (keening is more like the word) and he wanted to make sure he hadn't made the Raccoon sick ( ... )

oh the POOR Raccoon!
thats almost as bad as the second hand story of the taffy..... (raccoon got into some taffy, and practically glued its mouth shut.)

ummmmm..... yeah.... not a great object lesson.
but funny.
have you considered sending it in to readers digest?

Re: Mammas don't let your cub scouts go out and feed raccoons.Last piece. mysryael June 19 2007, 16:22:00 UTC

I have considered it, it's in the one of these days i really should.... category.

Re: Mammas don't let your cub scouts go out and feed raccoons. pt1 fabricdragon June 19 2007, 15:29:24 UTC

that was really mean to the raccoon, you do know that, right?
funny. but mean.

Re: Mammas don't let your cub scouts go out and feed raccoons. pt1 mysryael June 19 2007, 16:20:46 UTC

Believe I covered it being mean...The little wretch more than got even....

fabricdragon June 18 2007, 19:40:01 UTC
