How to Identify the Most Likely Disasters in Your Area

Use the Rule of 3s as a foundation:

  • 3 seconds without security

  • 3 minutes without air

  • 3 hours without shelter

  • 3 days without water

  • 3 weeks without food

  • 3 months without companionship

This is just a guideline, but it helps you think clearly.

Step 1: Think Local

Ask yourself two key questions:

  1. What’s the worst-case natural disaster in your area?

  2. What’s the worst-case man-made disaster in your area?

Example (Utah - Wasatch Front):

  • Natural: Massive earthquake

    • Destroys shelter, power, food access, heating/cooling, payment systems

    • Solution: Have essentials in your RV or another secure location

  • Man-made: EMP or war

    • No power, no comms, no heating/cooling

    • Solution: Use fireplace, open windows, keep cash, pre-cooked food, solar tools

Step 2: Plan to Get Home

Disasters often happen when you’re not at home. Ask:

  • Can you walk home if needed?

  • Do you have the right shoes and gear in your bag?

  • Does your family have a rally point?

  • Can you communicate without cell service?

  • Do you have security if you’re moving after dark?

  • Can you stash a bike, scooter, or e-vehicle at work?

Bottom Line

Use the Rule of 3s as your framework.
Prepare for the worst case, and everything else becomes easier.
