IRL Disaster preparation and recovery

IRL Disaster preparation and recovery: when data recovery is the least of your worries.

This is a proposition for a class on emergency preparedness IRL.

After Katrina having an assortment of emergency supplies thought they didnt "save my life" they did make life easier.

I will hold several classes on Emergency preparedness from an in-car flat tire and first aid kit, to a 72 hour bug out bag, and even a Zombie hoard in home survival stash.

The first class will be:

Vehicular kludges - WWMD What would MacGyver do.

Things that will be discussed.

Fender Bender, what do i do now?

How to FIX a flat tire in 10 minutes or less.

Stranded, how to make the best of a boring situation

Major accident, how to help and not hinder.

Trapped, how to escape with your life.

More to be added later.....

Class two will be:

Why did we go in the woods? How to stay alive till you can get rescued in the wilderness

What should you pack even if you are just going for a short hike.

STOP: Stop, Think, Orient, Plan. how this could save your life.

Earth, Water and Fire, what you need to make your stay more bearable.
