Here at Natural News, our hearts go out to the family members of those killed in the storm, and we hope some lessons can be learned from this that will save other lives in the future. But wait a second, you can't stop a tornado, right? Of course you cant. But you can prepare for a tornado, and here's where we get into a discussion that the mainstream media won't dare touch because it's not "politically correct" to have an intelligent discussion about any of this. But here's the question we need to ask if we're going to save lives: How many of those who were killed in the tornado knew there was a tornado warning in place but did nothing to move to a safe shelter? Obviously this question doesn't apply to all the children who were killed, as they are not responsible for their own actions. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/survival_prepardness/news.php?q=1368893096 May 16, 2013 One of the more common prepper challenges is finding room for stored food and water. Lucky you if you have a large home with a basement or cellar – you have plenty of space at just the right temperature. But the rest of us? Not so much. Many people live in apartments, condos, mobile homes, RV’s or, in my case, a one-bedroom cottage. This means we are cramped for normal pantry and closet space let alone space for our emergency food and water. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/survival_prepardness/news.php?q=1368550466 May 10, 2013 Three things we should know in the event of home invasions during possible government takeover (Marshal Law) or Economic Collapse such as the one that is knocking at our door right now.   1.

The answer is simple. It’s the asset that will still have value when the money or the bank collapse. All over the world, when people have been faced with the prospect of having their savings wiped out or confiscated they have turned to hard assets – physical goods they could hold in their possession and trade if necessary – as protection. Argentina, a country that is no stranger to economic hard times and hyperinflation, gives us a prime example of what becomes money when the system collapses. At an inflation rate of 25%, while their currency loses significant purchasing power, Argentines have made a mad rush into gold, silver, and other tangible goods that retain their barterable value. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/survival_prepardness/news.php?q=1365182027 April 4, 2013 As the potential for a globally destabilizing event becomes ever more probable, many concerned Americans are starting to wonder where they’d go if the worst were to happen.

Even though she may not ever have to put the knowledge to use, simply knowing that your child is prepared to handle an emergency can give you immeasurable peace of mind. Explain the Difference Between an Emergency and a Problem For kids, a sense of urgency can accompany a simple problem just as it does a legitimate emergency. Kids need to know how to reach emergency services, how to dial 911 and what to do when she’s speaking to a dispatcher, but also when it’s appropriate to call in the first place. It’s not always easy for little ones to distinguish between problems that require the attention of a parent or trusted adult, and actual emergencies that warrant police, emergency medical or firefighter services. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/survival_prepardness/news.php?q=1364229494 March 22, 2013 Preparation for disaster, whether natural or man-made, should be as vital as any ideal found in the various practices of religion and spiritualism. Preparedness should be treated with reverence, discipline and duty. The drive for preparation should be seated in the very heart of humanity.

No longer should either word signify paranoia; rather, these words should signify adaptability in the face of proven challenges. Whether it is the looming food crisis, signs of inevitable dollar collapse, or any range of man-made or natural event, we have a survival instinct for a reason.

The flares are becoming more frequent due to the sun approaching what scientists call a solar storm maximum in its 11-year cycle, and the sunspot of immediate concern now is more in alignment with Earth. The activity has raised new concerns over what effect a direct impact one of these flares, which produce a massive electromagnetic pulse, would have on America’s electric grid system and technology-based society, much of which remains unprotected from any direct EMP event.

Adding to that concern is a new report by a group of experts in Britain who say such a storm is not only likely to occur in the short term, but is a near-certainty, given the historical cycle of such solar events. The report about extreme space weather from the Royal Academy of Engineering in London said major solar superstorms generally occur, on average, once every 150-200 years. The group went on to note that the last major solar storm took place in 1859, long before the establishment of modern electrical grids and a century before space travel and satellites. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/survival_prepardness/news.php?q=1360116230 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/survival_prepardness/news.php?q=1359476580 Jan. 29, 2013 (NaturalNews) As most of the connected world knows by now, 230 people died recently in a Brazilian nightclub "as fire ravaged the building."

That has forced residents in the most beleaguered parts of the city to load up guns, sharpen machetes, and brandish a host of other weapons as a show of force against predators. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/survival_prepardness/news.php?q=1352173659 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/survival_prepardness/news.php?q=1352171516 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/survival_prepardness/news.php?q=1351956008 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/survival_prepardness/news.php?q=1351954596 Nov. 1, 2012 ’m on the tail end of Hurricane Sandy – we had high winds, freezing rain, and power outages but apparently my area’s going to be slammed and it won’t be safe to go out. Certainly not the same as being in the midst of a life threatening emergency yet, but we often only think of the bare minimum items for survival through disasters – but what happens when minor or major events stretch on? Both minor and major events force us to adapt. Aside from media smear campaigns painting preppers (people with common sense) as wackos and terrorists, most people are warming up to the idea of being prepared. Maybe they are eco-conscious and are naturally leaning towards doing without, or are romanticizing old times away from the technocratic rat race, or maybe scary news stories finally lit a fire beneath them. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/survival_prepardness/news.php?q=1351878369 Nov. 1, 2012 Over the last few days we have seen one the biggest storms in the history of the US slam into the east coast of our country.  And then, a week ago, a huge 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck off the northwest coast of British Columbia.  In the case if the former, there are – as of this writing – 62 casualties with more expected. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/survival_prepardness/news.php?q=1351705218 Oct. 31, 2012 (NaturalNews) A headline in Tuesday's OP-ED section of The New York Times summed up the mentality of too many Americans these days and all that is wrong with it: "A Big Storm Requires Big Government." If by that headline you deduced that the Times' editors were stumping for a Big Brother (read federal government) response to Hurricane Sandy, you'd be right. But then, that's a common reaction to any incident that you believe is too big for you and that scares you to death; when you're conditioned to die, you look for someone else to come bail you out, to come save you, to rescue you from a situation for which you are wholly unprepared. On its surface, the Times op-ed masqueraded as a hit piece aimed at GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney, bashing him for earlier comments in which he said he, as president, would seek to downplay the federal government's disaster response role in favor of states and local jurisdictions taking the lead.
