I don’t recommend a lot of “Preparedness” Blogs, but I will recommend this one.
These are all good, practical pieces of advice, but this one bears repeating:
Don’t fall into the “my candidate won so I can stop prepping” trap. I saw this in 2016 and again in 2020. Many Trump supporters stopped prepping after the 2016 election, thinking there would be no need for preparedness. In the three years that followed his inauguration, we had the unrest in Charlottesville, a global pandemic with related shortages of toilet paper and other consumables, and the riots of the summer of 2020 – all of which generated significant volumes of calls and emails to me. Many Biden supporters, who prepped after the 2016 election, took their feet off the gas when Biden was elected in 2020. Natural disasters, grid failures and cyber attacks will not end if your preferred candidate wins.
