Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 18, 2010

Los Angeles PRWEB) June 18, 2010 – With experts predicting a potentially record hurricane season, it is essential that Americans in tropical storm zones take steps now to prepare for an emergency. More Ready (www.moreprepared.com), a California company that specializes in disaster preparedness, advises people living in hurricane-prone areas to develop detailed emergency plans and take measures to ensure their homes are better able to withstand a storm, and stock up on emergency supplies, including a hurricane kit well supplied.

June is National Preparedness Month, Hurricane, and forecasters have been issuing gloomy forecasts for the hurricane season ahead. Up to 10 below hurricane strength storms are forecast for the Atlantic region, with a maximum of five with devastating winds over 110 mph. If these predictions are confirmed, 2010 could be the worst year for hurricanes since 2005, when Hurricane Katrina. The recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico could make things worse as storms could further the spread of toxic chemicals.

early preparation is essential for living in Harma?? way s. More Prepared Mina Arnao CEO says people should contact local organizations for disaster preparedness for information on evacuation routes and the location of emergency shelters. A communication plan to be established to contact their loved ones. Should also be made for pets and livestock.

Homeowners may wish to review your insurance coverage, take pictures of their homes and property, and supplies of wood and other items that can be used to protect buildings.

â?? Itâ € ™? s not a good idea to wait until a storm on the horizon to supplies from the hardware store and supermarket as emergency products tend to be low, â? ? Arnao said. â?? Water, packaged specifically for emergency use, can last up to five years. Food bars, APRM?? s (meals ready to eat) and freeze-dried foods can also be retained for a period of years, so that can be purchased well in advance, but must be kept in a place where you will be sure to stay dry and are easily> accessible. â ???? Arnao

suggests that people make a list of things they will need in case of a storm. basic elements to keep on hand are:

Food
Water (one gallon per person per day)
First aid kit
Flashlights and extra batteries
Weather Radio
Cash
Prescription drugs
Important documents in a waterproof bag

suggested complementary concepts include:

Blankets
Ponchos
Flashlight and light sticks
Tarps and plastic sheeting
Rope
water purification tablets and / or filters to purify water.
Portable Stove
Waterproof matches
Tape
6-in-one survival tool

SurvivalOutpost.com Partners with Mountain House Freeze-Dried Foods To Help People Prepare for an Uncertain Future

Austin, TX (PRWEB) August 27, 2009

“People are still very worried about the future,” comments SurvivalOutpost.com co-owner Brian French. “They speak with their wallets and right now the message is loud and clear — people are worried about emergency food supplies.”

With the possibility of a resurging and deadly pandemic, an uncertain and unpredictable economy, run-away deficit spending, spiraling unemployment, increasingly weird weather, and the apparent convergence of multiple disturbing and unsettling trends, people are beginning to think about the basics of survival in turbulent times: Emergency Food Supplies, Emergency Water Storage, & Survival Equipment.

“It’s interesting what we hear from our customers,” notes retired fire chief and SurvivalOutpost.com co-owner Kevin Baum. “In the ‘old days’ the only people who concerned themselves with long-term emergency food supplies & emergency water storage were fringe survivalists and public safety professionals. Today these activities have become mainstream.”

Baum notes that SurvivalOutpost.com’s customer today is just as likely to be an accountant from Minneapolis who lives in a downtown condo as it is a rugged survivalist living out of a cave in Montana. “And they are all worried about the same thing: food.”

In an effort to meet the demands from an increasingly wary public, SurvivalOutpost.com recently added a wide variety of Mountain House Freeze Dried food products to their diverse inventory of emergency food supplies. “We are excited about this relationship as it is a direct response to customer requests,” notes French. “Mountain House is arguably the leader in the freeze-dried food market, with a variety of tasty meals to choose from. Our customers have told us they want the diversity of food products Mountain House provides, and we are listening to them.”

“When the time for action is upon you, the time to prepare is past. A lot of people are taking action, and they are buying emergency food supplies. These trends are something to think about.”

SurvivalOutpost.com is an on-line retail store specializing in emergency food supplies, emergency water storage and survival equipment for individuals, families and businesses. For more information, visit SurvivalOutpost.com.
