Another reason—a very strong reason—you have to be prepared 
. According to USA TODAY, your community is not ready for disaster, so you have to look out for yourself. Make sure you know your area and your neighborhood, what can happen and what the ensuing consequences will be . And what they might be, also.
Do you know exactly what it is you have to prepare for? Preparedness is a skill that anticipates all possibilities, even the most ridiculous notions . For instance, weather, fires and the frenzy of development over the past several years have had real impact on non-human life forms. When people move closer to the wild, the wild shows up more often in the front yard. We all know about deer , sure—but bears?
Make sure you have a flashlight , which tells bears you're not something they want to encounter. (Pepper spray is suggested by some and could be valuable in the preparedness kit for other situations as well.)
