We live on the water in the Florida Keys. So what do we often hear? “What do you do about hurricanes?” 
Well, for one thing, hurricanes are not a surprise. There’s time to at least prepare. As an aside to our friends and family in the Abacos in the Bahamas, even ‘preparations’ couldn’t protect them from the wrath of the last hurricane. Hang in there. There is a message in this, and you’ll probably guess that hurricane preparation is related to preparing for global health alerts. Scroll down for the parallels.
How to sustain yourself during a disrupting global event? Maybe, just maybe, you’d want to consider staying supplied and continue to plan ahead….
Clean & Sanitize
Shaklee Basic G (Germicide) is a good start. Here’s a recent Basic G fact sheet on how and where to use it. Do you have enough on hand? Good news is it works and is EPA rated.

Here’s how we prepare for hurricanes. Sound familiar now?
- Keep the car filled with gas. You’ll always use it — and there may be shortages or very long lines for those who don’t plan ahead.
- Get some 5 gallon jugs of water. You’ll always be able to use it — and sometimes supply of clean water is challenged if pipes are compromised.
- Stock up on the true necessities. Prescription Rx. A first aid kit. Dog food. Diapers. Maybe coffee. Or your favorite libation. What will you use later but you really don’t want to run out of?
- Prepare for some times when trips to the store may not be possible or the stores may be crowded or out of stock. And get things that will do ok without refrigeration. The canned goods. Soups. Maybe favorite cereal. Cheese. Snack and meal bars.
And planning ahead in the event a major emergency comes screaming at you — and while supplies are available — makes you very smart.
