In today's world, there can be many different types of crises and disasters that can hit us when we least expect them. Whether it's a natural disaster, an economic crash, a crisis, a power outage, or a global pandemic, it can be difficult to know how to prepare for the worst. In this post, we'll give you 10 basic prepping tips that can help you be ready for anything.

1. Get a disaster plan
   The first step in preparing for a crisis is to have a plan. Write down the risks that could affect your life and how you and your family will deal with them. What do you need to have at home to survive for an extended period of time? Plan where you will meet if you are separated, how you will communicate, and how you will get to the meeting point.

Also remember to include cleaning supplies, hygiene items and warm clothes. If you can, also get a generator, battery charger and solar panels to charge your devices.

   A radio can be invaluable in a crisis as it can help you stay informed about what is happening. Also make sure you have access to other communication tools such as a cell phone and walkie-talkies.
   
   

5. Have an evacuation plan
   If you need to evacuate, make sure you have a plan for how you will get out. Have a bag ready with important documents and supplies.
   
   

6. Learn to cook without electricity
   If you lose electricity during a crisis, cooking can be difficult, so learn how to cook on a camping stove or with a grill.
   
   

7. Get a basic survival kit
   Make sure you have a flashlight, a knife, matches and other things that can help you survive in the wild if needed.
   
   

8. Build your self-defense
   In a crisis, there may be situations where you need to defend yourself or your family. Therefore, learn basic self-defense techniques and make sure you have the necessary protective equipment, such as an emergency alarm or whistle.
   
   

9. Get a water purifier
   If you need to rely on water from a source that you feel is unsafe, make sure you have a water purifier. There are several different types of water purifiers to choose from, so choose one that suits your needs and budget.
   
   

10. Train and practice your plan
    It's one thing to have a plan, but it's another to know how to put it into practice. Practice and rehearse your disaster plan regularly, so you and your family can handle a crisis safely and effectively.
