Emergencies can strike at any time, being prepared should not be an option. The time is now. If Not Now, When is a guide to making a plan and building the supplies you and your family need to survive any emergency. The guide has chapters that address each of the areas that are most important when dealing with emergencies, like food, water, security, first aid, and more.

Emergencies can be anything from a thunderstorm that knocks the power out to a terrorist attack or even the loss of a job. Being prepared will determine your survival chances. The government and its support agencies like FEMA and the Red Cross advocate for preparedness, they understand and know that they will not be able to help everyone. There is a large possibility that you will not get the help you need.

Anyone anywhere can prepare. It does not take millions of dollars and does not mean you are a crazy “zombie apocalypse” Prepper. Preparing is simply having what you and your family need to survive a crisis. Being a Prepper means being smart, being realistic about what you are planning for, and only doing what is within your means to do.
