Test season coming for my plan
May 30 2010, 10:53 AM EDT
Hurricane season is about to start, and it will give me a chance to test my BOL in a real world situation. This season is supposed to be as bad as 2005,so there is a good chance I will have to evac from a hurricane.I will keep regular updates as the season goes along. Do you find this valuable?

I didn't see the following (just a quick scan, so maybe they are on, but buried)Passports/driving licences Insurance documents Birth certificates Bank records Lawyers' details House deeds/mortgage papers All those should be in a water-tight box, that preferably floats, but is too heavy to get blown away.

"I didn't see the following (just a quick scan, so maybe they are on, but buried)Already done. One good thing about the city, county, and state government here is that a major hurricane awareness program was started after the nightmare of Hurricane Rita. The program includes info on securing important items. A lot of Houston tx citizens try to be prepared, at least in the regards to legal docs, and other important papers. Do you find this valuable? |

Oh, my plans would kind of intertwine with yours if you were going to be in Fort Worth.

The first Hurricane of the season is bearing down on us. Hurricane Alex looks like it is going to the south of Me , so we probably will not have to evac, but It will be a good training situation/exercise.

A few more hurricanes are forming in the Atlantic, buy they are going up the east coast from me. This tells me to get even more ready, because my area gets hurricanes after September.

We are far enough in-shore that it shouldn't be a catastrophe, the only problem that has a good possibility of happening is wind damage. And that's if it swings back around for shore.As for an apocalyptic event, I don't own a BOL, nor cool assault weapons, nor massive stockpiles of food. I have the food in my house, a 12 gauge shotgun, a .22 rifle, and everything in my BOB. Do you find this valuable? |

"We are far enough in-shore that it shouldn't be a catastrophe, the only problem that has a good possibility of happening is wind damage. And that's if it swings back around for shore.That s a good start. I would look for cheap land somewhere inland for a BOL. Land that many people do not want,(hilly, mountainous, etc.) could make a good location for a vacation home/BOL. Just be creative. I tell a lot of people to check the craigslist free section, and join the freecycle groups in their area for free resources. Do you find this valuable? |
