42 Meeting makers make it You need to schedule preparation meetings with coworkers and like-minded neighbors well in advance of an emergency. Have you done so? You can’t depend on being able to network when things go wrong. Yes, those who are like-minded still will be, but during desperate times, they won’t be thinking as clearly. Having a plan ahead of time and then sticking to it is far preferable to trying to come up with that plan on the fly, and then hoping your “allies” won’t lose their nerve or turn on you. Submitted by Don, Melbourne How to get advance notice of every emergency If your community has one, consider joining a Volunteer Defense Service in your area. This will help you get a heads-up on information about emergencies coming your way. The time commitment is usually around two years, perhaps once a month during those years. #65 This is a great way to get the skills and information you need to defend your family, while forcing yourself to stick with it because you’ve adopted this obligation. Join a Volunteer Defense Service in your local community to get a heads up on information. Submitted by Chase, Holland, MI How to get a uniform you can legally wear for authority Consider joining the Civil Air Patrol. This is a volunteer organization that is an auxiliary unit of the United States Air Force. Civil Air Patrol membership grants you a government/military style ID and the legal right to wear a USAF uniform. Keep the uniform in your car. It just might afford you an authoritative presence in times of emergencies, allowing you to pass a roadblock or travel during curfew. The networking value of joining such an organization also involves the information you may receive as a member. Submitted by Tim, Vallejo, CA #64 #66
