City Prepping Some decent tips. Id like to see an earthquake video as you live in Cali and i believe Earthquakes and Volcanic Activity can be a thing out there?
Hello to all. I’m a resident in Puerto Rico at this time and live in the city of Bayamon. Very near the metro area. As of today, 50 days after the hurricane, I still have no electricity. Water came 23 days after the hurricane. After living this so far and having to admit that I’m still learning, here are my two cents. Full disclosure, I’m a veteran, engineer and firearms instructor with good survival skills. There is no perfect way to prepare for a CAT 5 hurricane. My house is made of cinder block, cement and rebarb all the way, so it’s hurricane proof and it proved itself. Any structure made of wood will be gone, period. Water, Water, Water!!! Nothing else matters! People will kill for water. One gallon per person is not enough. Higiene is important, more than you think. MRE’s are the way to go when it comes to food in the first days after. Everything was shut down for the first five days. There were people looking to buy Water the very next day. And there was none! Crime went thru the roof. You have to be ready to protect you home and family. Train your family, if they don’t cooperate they can be your worst enemy. Water!!! Fuel for your vehicle. Have that gas tank full before the storm. Water!!! Strangers were coming up to the house asking for water. Batteries, LED lamps. First aid and knowing how to use it. The hospitals were shut down for five days to. No supermarkets for 8 days. Store food and water for at least two weeks minimum. Try to have at least an extra 5 gallon gas can for every vehicle. The police force was literally non existent for three days after the storm. Things are getting less worse because I can’t say better. In the central parts of the island there is still no running water and no electricity. Things I wish I had and have now in my vehicle. A saw to cut trees with, a truckers friend tool. Things I’m glad that I had and used. Med kit, Water, MRE, solar charger for my electronics, power inverter in my vehicle, machete, tools, binoculars, LED flashlight, battery radio, WATER!! And very important, have cash, all electronic transactions were down and in may places it still is. At home I have a 7Kw generator. I run it no more than 8 hours a day and not every day. I’ve spent about $500 worth of gas so far. Please feel free to ask about anything I might have missed. Blessings to all.
God bless you for your advice. It's all nice and fine for those OUTSIDE a hurricane area to make videos telling people how to prepare. Every area of every country has extreme weather conditions that can happen, so people need to prepare appropriately. No matter how well we prepare, things can still happen that we didn't think of. With families- Teach them to KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT about what you have stockpiled. A child can put the entire family at risk by simply stating, we have plenty" of anything. I'd counter by saying, he/she's right- we have plenty of things that have dead batteries, books to read, board games to play with or chores to do. Something that would bore people at the door. After they're gone, the child /person would get an education about how fast they can get the family killed.
Richardo, I feel your pain as I recently returned home from 30 days in PR post hurricanes. Please check out my videos from PR. Much love brother. -Corey @ Prepared 2 Thrive
God Bless you, Ricardo. Thank you for sharing your one-of-a-kind insights into life after a cat 5! Direct experience is something few of us have & none of us want. Thank you also for reaching out to those of us still on the mainland despite the abysmal response of emergency mgmt & the non-existent state of the mainstream media. You guys are NOT forgotten up here. We love you--hang in there & keep the info coming.
Selene, agree. Please see my videos taken while I was in PR post hurricanes Irma & Maria. Share with likeminded folks to help inspire them as Richardo has done here.
I used to live in the tropics where a hurricane strike during the annual hurricane season was a real possibility. Here are the things I did: 1) Learn where the inundation/storm surge zones are and do not rent or buy a home in these zones, 2) Rent or buy a home outside the inundation zone only if you know it meets current hurricane wind-resistant building codes (do not choose to live in an older building that has not been retrofitted to meet the newer codes), 3) Stay in the habit of never letting your vehicle's fuel tank get below the halfway mark, 4) Before the start of hurricane season buy basic supplies and/or check/rotate your supplies (keep them in water-proof containers), 5) Know your evacuation routes and actually practice traveling those routes at different times of day or night -- stay updated on any road construction detours, 6) Monitor the weather news and closely follow updates when the approach of a hurricane is predicted, 7) When a predicted hurricane landfall is three-four days out -- top up your vehicle's fuel tank, stock up on fresh fruit, get extra pet food if you have pets, get cash from an ATM, fill up clean water storage containers, get out the camp stove, buy extra propane bottles for the camp stove if needed, test the battery-powered lanterns, test the portable radio, buy extra batteries if needed, 8) two-three days out from predicted landfall contact friends living beyond the evacuation route to see if they can give you a place to stay if you have to evacuate and 9) get ready to evacuate your family and pets no later than the day before the evacuation order is likely to be given (the local news station will keep you informed of the likelihood of an evacuation order). What if you evacuate and then the hurricane changes course and goes away from your home or just weakens to a tropical storm? Consider yourself blessed with an unexpected vacation and the opportunity to practice evacuating and be grateful your home and your workplace were not destroyed.
Ricardo Cabrera: Thank You! Prayers sent for you and your Family! Your REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE is a Valuable Lesson for those of us who may have to face an Event like you are going through. Blizzards, Quakes, Tornadoes, Wildfires, Floods and SuperStorms, like Hurricanes end up with the same results: a Disaster to live through and a LONG Recovery. My Two Cents: A TOLIET that one can use w/o Flushing (like a Luggable Loo) and a MONTHS worth of Food and a RELIABLE WATER SOURCE! Take Care.
Excellent video. One thing I thought would be helpful is the Suze Orman Protection Portfolio. I have an old version, but the new one is in a briefcase and holds all of your important paperwork in one place so that if you have to evacuate for any reason, you can grab it and go. Makes life easier.
good advise. I am good for a hurricane. I live in Alabama so it was a priority when I first moved down here over a decade ago. There is only one issue. I let someone else be in charge of the gas generator. Well last hurricane came though and I did a pre-storm check, no go. Good thing I have like 5 back-up systems. I also learned, do it myself or it will not get done. Thankfully I am many hour drive inland so I do not get hit hard even for the worst of storms.
Great advice! It would be good to have a video on how to keep safe if you have to go to a shelter. I have no experience, but I've heard that you need to be friendly, but don't trust anyone.
Great video. Man I got excited when I got the alert for this video. There are sooo many people who can benefit from this. This past hurricane season really did a number on folks and forced some people to learn the hard way. Maybe with the help of videos like this, things can turn out a little different for folks next time.
B RED-E the matress is to hopefully protect you from flying debris within the structure. People mistake the hurricane is just that, no, it spawns tornados along the outer wall edges of the storm eye and along leader edges of the eye. So a Cat 3 or greater hurricane can be Multiple types of catistrophic storms in one. Blessings.
Learn how to use amateur radio. 2 meter radio is good for local communications. Repeater systems are usually on generators. High frequency radios can go regional or international. There are tons of things you can do including flying drones or computer communications over radio. Classes are available everywhere. Licensure is cheap, the benefits are overwhelming. During 9-11, cell phones were offline. We weren’t. We were called in to provide comms
Excellent video! Thanks CP! Thank you so much! The BOB -- with your important documents and some small family treasures (pictures and such) is so so so important. And knowing the difference between flood vs hurricane insurance is essential. A couple of extra points from things that I picked up on after experiencing Hurricane Harvey: -- It is extremely important to research (preferably ahead of time) how to properly remediate your home if it has been flooded and know the reputable agencies who can do a professional job in your area if you need it. N95 masks are SUPER important and while you want to open windows and doors to get things to dry out, realize that this might kick up mold spores into the air, thus increasing your risk of mold exposure. People with compromised immune systems (including seniors) can be very susceptible to complications from mold exposure. -- Having power banks to keep your phones charged when electricity is out, because you want to keep in touch with loved ones, and if you find yourself in need of rescue, your phones will be working overtime, and will get drained quickly. -- If your house is flooding, yes go to higher ground within your home, but never trap yourself into a place where you cannot escape. People would go to their attics to try to escape the rising flood waters, and then drowned there because they couldn't get out. If you have a way to escape your attic, fine, but otherwise, get to the roof or other place that you can escape from if needed. -- If you must wade through flood waters, keep sores and skin injuries well protected from the water, as that increases one's risk for serious diseases that can be contracted from the water. -- Own a boat???? Or a blow-up raft???? -- You said this, but your network is key! Have people you can go to, and people who are aware of your current situation if you are bugging in. During Harvey, even if we weren't in an area heavily affected, we were watching out for our friends and loved ones who were, and worked hard to connect emergency services to those areas. The more prepared we were (with food, water, etc.) meant we were less concerned about ourselves and could offer our time and energy to helping those in more dire situations through connecting emergency services, the cajun navy, etc. to areas where we knew our friends were really needing help using social media and telephone. -- Finally, after it is done, make sure you check on how everyone is doing mentally, and reach out as a friendly ear/sholder to cry on. The first big rainstorm in Houston after Hurricane Harvey a couple weeks later made everyone really jittery and some folks really broke down crying. There was some serious city-wide PTSD that many of us had not even realized was there until we felt it ourselves - even for those of us who had been prepared and relatively unaffected. Learning to recognize and acknowledge those symptoms is the first step, opening up about those feelings is next, and then finally knowing when you or someone you love should seek further mental health services. As preppers we want to be self-sufficient and tend to carry a healthy level of suspicion of people in general. But while civil unrest can happen, most folks are good-hearted people and we could do with a lot more reaching out to each other in empathy and reflective honesty about our own emotions after such a traumatic time. - Thanks again! I really enjoy your channel.
I like a lantern I had when I was homeless. It's not the brightest or longest-lasting, but it does work and you can read by it. It can charge by solar, batteries, hand crank, 12volt or 110ac cords. And it's usually under $20.
Tip: If you live 8n a 3+ Story building stay in the middle during a hurricane. Flooding for the lower and roof falling off/ collapsing ( for strong hurricane)
Tip from a banker friend: Keep as much cash as possible in $1.00 bills. Many places won't be able to give you change. You don't want to pay $20 for a $3 loaf of bread.
Excellent prep video...thank you C.P. 1 Gallon per person per day....that is good, cause you don't really know how long the times of trouble, will last....for some its 1 week (7 days) others , it can be 1 month...(over 24 days) ....also taking in consideration, that people will come to you home, acting like good samaritans, but really they are staking out your resources and needing them...how to deal with this situation?
Uk is starting to have to learn how to prepare for this level of storm after storm ciara and quickly now being followed up by storm dennis, so much damage and homelessness :( yorkshire have much to learn about the danger of flooding, driving through floods at speed and standing around in shorts thigh deep having a pint at the pubs!
Hi CP! After Irma insurence companies are getting out of paying for flood damage by not covering the ground movement around the foundation, resulting in damage..pls check your home owners policy to make sure its' included in the clause. Plan on using a generator post hurricane when its' safe. This could be days to weeks depending on local damage. Plan to do all generator maintaince prior to hurricane season, and post storm cleaning of generator. Chainsaws are a must too. Extra gas to run your equipment. Keep gas stabilized with Seafoam, (best on the market, get quality not cheap knock offs).Be prepared, get your spiritual house in order 1st! Blessings!
Great video but can you do one on how to prepare for a Tornado or is the same and also How to prepare before during and after for a Earthquake? I am told that it is going to happen and it is not a matter of if but when here in TN. The food that is sealed in cans I wanted to know how is it damage during a flood? Thanks
Derpster, when cities flood, like Houston during Harvey, it had nothing to do with altitude above the nearest water. Cities flood because there is not good drainage and because the drainage that is there has been compromised. I live in a Houston suburb. We flooded. Water rose and entered our house.There is no where for the water to go. One problem is the addition of more cement; more businesses. I think more businesses is a good thing; more jobs for people. But when a city okays these buildings, provisions should be made for better drainage. People need to be aware that sewers are not garbage cans. I see people blowing their grass clippings into the sewers. That will mix with other trash and block drainage. I expect my house will flood again and it's something I have to deal with until my husband retires and we can move somewhere that doesn't flood but I know that there will be a different set of problems.
I WAS IN GRID DOWN PUERTO FOR A MONTH POST HURRICANES IRMA & MARIA; please watch my video coverage of my time there for real life experience in grid down living post hurricanes. Thanks for this video City Prepping, it's a good conversation starter for the subject.
Halfway to protect yourself from crooked landlords a bunch of us had this problem did Ryan say I consider the price unsafe and now you'll have to leave when there's nothing wrong with it there's nothing wrong with the place I was living at oral codes inspector I guess I should have demanded that you have a deputy come over and give me an eviction notice
You talkin about some good things but I can't seem to get this in a people's heads Katrina Andrews Sandy all the stuff that was never enough to read a supply of food okay have more than that don't be afraid to buy camping gear stopped on your bottle so I went to empty them out put them in a bag and you can fill them up in no time at all you could have a hundred gallons worth of water when it comes to empty bottles the next thing by one and garden spot lights and pavement get coupons the money you saved gives you the chance to buy first-rate preps like generator solar generators p good day and God bless. Thank you for the ocean lot of stuff that could
Prepare, plan, prepare.... I have family in Houston... they prepared and planned so when they elected to leave their house, all they had to do was throw the Rubbermaid totes into the back of the truck and go.

Already have one!
hurricane+rocket stove (or propane stove)+unventilated room =CO² poisoning and possible house fire.

Hi
Thank you I live on the nj east coast and we have some bad hurricane I have always bugged out now I know how to bug in for hurricanes
An idea that came to me when you mention mattress or pillow to protect your head is to have helmets (ski, skateboard kind)

Linda you're exactly right. I saw this first hand when in Puerto Rico helping out for a month after the storms.
BUG OUT BAG TIME=GREAT VIDEO..
Tanks
Why is it important to turn off the power during the storm?
Because electricity + water = shock = death
😊😅surge.
Great video but can you do one on how to prepare for a Tornado or is the same and also How to prepare before during and after for a Earthquake? I am told that it is going to happen and it is not a matter of if but when here in TN. The food that is sealed in cans I wanted to know how is it damage during a flood? Thanks
Yep, I'm also, undamaged can, not wet long enough to rust...why not just wash it off, open & eat?
What plywood anchors you recomend?
Tysm
Always build your house at least ten meters above nearest water body.
Derpster, when cities flood, like Houston during Harvey, it had nothing to do with altitude above the nearest water. Cities flood because there is not good drainage and because the drainage that is there has been compromised. I live in a Houston suburb. We flooded. Water rose and entered our house.There is no where for the water to go. One problem is the addition of more cement; more businesses. I think more businesses is a good thing; more jobs for people. But when a city okays these buildings, provisions should be made for better drainage. People need to be aware that sewers are not garbage cans. I see people blowing their grass clippings into the sewers. That will mix with other trash and block drainage. I expect my house will flood again and it's something I have to deal with until my husband retires and we can move somewhere that doesn't flood but I know that there will be a different set of problems.
