Back to EpisodesSheltering in Place - The Rationale
Description
The theoretical underpinning of preparedness is planning. That means you have a strategy to navigate significant disruptions in your life. We begin preparedness planning with the shelter in place concept, which means that everyone returns to home when bad things happen, to congregate, pause and think. Your home is your safe place, where your children feel safe, where they are comfortable, where you know your community and lastly - it is where everything you own sits. All your possessions to some degree are preparedness supplies that support one of your animalistic requirements - shelter, food, water, health, safety and security. So why not start the response at a place where everything you need is, where your loved ones feel safe and you are at peace - to the greatest extent possible in times of chaos and mayhem.
