Hi Jim and Memsahib:
Many people cannot possibly move west of the Mississippi. I think everyone
wants to make an educated assessment of where they live in relation
to preparing for whatever may happen. Regardless of the energy
and thought we put into planning, there seems to be one or many
things
we either leave out or have not considered. For example, how many
have taken into consideration if there is a germ facility or chemical
weapons lab near their prized spot? There are also terrorists cells
among us as well as major terrorists organizations. Knowing their
targets whether they be infrastructure, military, national landmarks
or vulnerable cities should be considered in our plans. I recommend
that Prudent Places USA CD-ROM. It covers six main areas: Natural
Disasters, Manmade Disasters,
Environmental Basics, Environmental Problems, Energy, People and
Places. Within these chapter headings, one has access to 69 main
topics, plus additional sub-topics and maps to a county level--all
3,141 of them. Maps are very large and must be presented in CD-ROM
format. If there is a safer place in your county or state these
maps will point them out. The maps can be printed on transparencies
and
overlaid for a defining view of areas of interest. This is one
of the most comprehensive accumulation of data covering almost
every
topic of interest for choosing a prudent place I have come across.
David from Israel so eloquently illustrated the mindset of most
who prepare. Generally speaking, we tend not to think of having
to leave
our retreat. We all should have at least two backup plans in place.
Prudent Places USA is an invaluable aid in planning localities,
roads, everything one can imagine and more. See: http://www.millennium-ark.net/Our_Books/PPusa/next.htm Regards,
