Understanding different types of emergencies and how to prepare for them
By HRS Editors // Jul 11, 2024

Thinking about survival scenarios may seem scary, but it's important for emergency preparedness. While many emergencies can happen, you can narrow down the necessary preps by thinking of the ones that are more common in your area.

What are the most common prepper emergencies?

Emergencies can still occur even in a country with extensive infrastructure like the United States. Fortunately, you can almost always collectively recover, even if it takes weeks or years.

While things can eventually return to "normal," it could happen gradually so you still need a plan.

When creating your emergency preparedness plan, you must find out what is most likely to happen. Knowing what to prepare for is almost as important as preparing since it means you know what to expect, what the common challenges are, and how to counter them.

Before SHTF, prepare a stockpile of non-perishable food, water and basic medical supplies. This should cover most emergencies, especially if you plan on bugging in or staying at home when disaster strikes.

Here are some events to prepare for and how to survive them:

Economic collapse

An economic collapse can disrupt the financial system and result in widespread unemployment, shortages of essential goods and a breakdown in social order. (Related: An essential guide to storing organic foods for survival.)

Floods, tsunamis or dam overflows

If a flash flood is imminent and evacuation routes are threatened by rising water, staying on higher floors and seeking high ground might be safer than trying to escape.

Hazardous materials spills

Chemical spills or releases can contaminate evacuation routes, so staying put with proper ventilation might be a better option.

Pandemic outbreak

A highly contagious and potentially deadly disease spreads rapidly, which can overwhelm healthcare systems and cause societal disruptions.

Power outages or service outages

While inconvenient, short-term power or water outages are usually best managed by staying home.

Social unrest

Civil unrest caused by political instability, economic hardship or social injustice can result in violence, property damage and disruptions to essential services.

Secure your home and prepare a bug-out location if necessary.

Tornados, hurricanes and typhoons

Once a tornado warning is issued, keep in mind that sheltering in a designated storm shelter or basement is the safest course of action.

Wildfires/uncontrolled fires

If wildfires are rapidly approaching and your evacuation routes are engulfed in flames, sheltering in place with a pre-planned fire mitigation strategy might be a better option.

What you'll need for a long-term bug in emergency

When disaster strikes, bugging in is sometimes the best option. If this is the case, you should have a well-sealed basement stocked with supplies for the whole family.

For most emergencies, the basic requirements for long-term bugging in remain the same.

Supplies for your stockpile

Try to prepare at least one year's worth of non-perishable food, water purification tablets or filters and basic hygiene products like shampoo and soap.

You should also have additional supplies like medications, sanitation solutions and fuel for cooking or heating, depending on the climate.

Shelter security

Don't forget to fortify your home. Set up a rotating watch if you are worried about trespassers or looters. Learn how to use your weapon of choice so you can protect your family.

Place warning signs or barbed wire around your property to deter break-ins. Invest in a generator and fuel to maintain power during outages.

Where to buy supplies for your stockpile
