4 GOOD Tips That Will Put The Odds In Your Favor During A Disaster Evacuation
A lot of people think that "preppers" are a little crazy having a
bug-out bag ready to go on a moments notice. They commonly argue that, in a disaster, they'll just hop in the family Bug Out Vehicle and be safely on their way with no worries.
Something you need to consider though, is while it may be true that you'll start out in a vehicle, that option might quickly become a death-trap down the road.
You see, when a hurricane is coming... a power grid goes down... a toxic spill contaminates an area... a wildfire is headed your way... or any number of other emergencies force you to evacuate, it's
complete chaos. Normal rational human beings become panic driven, irrational jackasses.
Everyone is in a mad panic, all scrambling to get out of dodge at the same time - you're practically guaranteed to get caught in the resulting traffic jam. Not to mention the resultant road-rage type fist fights and other ensuing mayhem.
Cars stall... overheat... run out of gas.. get into accidents in the mad rush... Some pull over off the road - and some just park there, dead, in the middle of the road, blocking traffic for thousands behind them. Idiots will still do idiotic things, mostly likely in a much worse fashion than normal.
You can NOT afford to follow the "herd" when it comes to Getting Out Of Dodge due to a disaster evacuation!
Instead, here are some bug-out tips:
1. Store your bug-out bag
in your vehicle. This way, it's always
ready to go, especially if you're not at home when you're forced to
evacuate. Being first on the road will get you ahead of the
morons who weren't prepared.
2. Map out back roads. While people are headed to the
interstate "parking lot", taking back roads will be less
crowded.
3. Store extra fuel outside the vehicle. People forget that
fuel pumps need electricity to pump. If the power goes out,
it doesn't matter how much fuel is in the gas station's tanks.
Besides, fights break out at gas stations along evac
routes as people with short tempers argue over others "taking too much". Store
2-5 gallons of fuel on a roof or tail rack at "go time" for
emergency evacuations.
4. Be prepared to leave your vehicle. There may come a point
where you're forced to leave your vehicle behind and trek
the rest of the way to safety on foot. This is, again, where a
bug-out bag is necessary. You need to just be able to grab
it and go at a moment's notice. (BOB weight is very important here!)
Again, when most people think that they'll be able to just drive to their bug-out retreat, they tend to over pack their backpack with stuff that's just too damn heavy! When you are forced to walk (possibly carrying a child??), every little ounce of weight in your BOB will most definitely affect how much ground you can cover and how fast.
