New year’s resolution No. 1: Get prepared!

Iran's going nuclear. ... North Korea is unstable. ... The U.S. border remains wide open. ... The economic crisis has criminals stripping copper wires from U.S. infrastructure. ... There's talk of an EMP attack that could set America back to the 19th century. ... Who knows what's next?

The devastating earthquakes, tsunamis, the coming sunstorm and nuclear disasters in Japan are still fresh in our minds. No one expected these calamities in Japan. And, one day, the world was turned upside-down for millions of people.

It could be a hurricane, a tornado or some other natural disaster.

Shouldn't your No. 1 new year's resolution be to ensure your family is safe in the event of the next emergency?

We're making it easier and cheaper at the WND Superstore, where prices on preparedness are being slashed for the new year.

There are two facets to preparedness – knowledge and being properly equipped. The WND Superstore can help in both ways.

This is the ultimate encyclopedia of emergency readiness.

Another hard-to-find preparedness resource that belongs in every home is the brand new 12th edition of the "Family Preparedness Handbook". At 500+ pages, this definitive manual by "Dr. Prepper" (James Talmage Stevens) covers everything you need to know to protect your household in the event of natural or man-made disruptions.

Generations ago, preparedness was second nature – it was the natural way of life – regardless of the current or impending environmental, social or economic conditions. But, times have changed. Have you asked yourself these questions?

• If America's just-in-time delivery system was disrupted, just how long could you and your family live on the provisions available in your home?
• Do you know what kinds of food to store, how much to store, or where you can get the provisions you need?
• How prepared were you when the real estate and stock markets tanked? Have you fully recovered?
• How prepared are you for a water main break or a power failure?
• You and your family are most vulnerable to which natural, man-made, or personal disasters?
• If you lost your source of income, how long could you sustain yourself and your family in near-normal manner?

Given today's uncertainty you can't afford to be unprepared. Why merely survive when you can thrive? This new, 12th Edition is NOT stocked by Amazon! Get your copy here today!

With the "occupy" movement growing more violent, NOW is the time to learn how to survive anything that is thrown your way.

The new book "Survive the Coming Storm: The Value Of A Preparedness Lifestyle" explains in detail what you should be doing to protect yourself during catastrophes - both nature's and the man-made variety.

The important thing is: Don't wait until disaster strikes.

You need to act now, while there is still time to prepare.

Earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, along with EMP attacks and complete financial meltdown - these should be on all our watch lists.

Just published and now available at the WND Superstore.
