Floods and its aftermath...

Floods can be justified simply as over-flowing water but what we know about floods is it can be dangerous wreaking havoc on property and life alike. Flooding may happen with only a few inches of water, or it may cover a house to the rooftop. General floods can be prepared for in advance as the cause can be depicted and measures can be taken to avoid loss.

Flash floods, on the other hand are sudden and extreme volume of water that flow rapidly and cause inundation. Because of its rapid nature flash floods are difficult to forecast and give people little time to escape or to take food and other essentials with them.



Even if a flood is survived, the aftermath of a flood is even worse. Due to water flowing from sewage, flood water is extremely contaminated and not apt for consumption. There has been a history of diseases that sprout up as a result of stagnant water. One needs to ensure, surroundings are kept clean and drinking water is stored separately.


There are many portable filters on the market but Berkey Water filter systems are so advanced that they are classified as a purifier. The Berkey water filter is nothing like the standard water filters. The portable Berkey can even be used to filter non-potable or unhealthy water in emergency situations where electricity and water pressure are not available.



Whether it is normal tap water or water from challenging environments like wells, rivers and lakes, the Berkey handles them all with ease. It is is the most flexible and adaptable filtering system available. Berkey water costs less than 1 cent per litre. The Black Berkey replacement cartridge is cleanable and it provides an economical, reliable and powerful long term solution to poor water quality issues that is unrivaled.


The Big Berkey is the most popular model. It has a long standing reputation for quality and service. Berkey water filters are used throughout the world by numerous international relief organizations to provide clean emergency drinking water during times of crisis or natural disaster.

At War Always...

Evolution happened with a Big Bang and we never quite went back to peace. This world is at war all the time, war for power, war for money and even better war for peace. The only thing you can do is look out for yourself, Be Prepared and Fortify!



Floods, Tornadoes, Earthquakes, Tsunami's we have no control over but war is man-made! We have witnessed several wars in the past with innumerable loss to life and property. We see and hear about the havoc civil war has wreaked on countries like Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Syria and many other countries still recovering from the aftermath of a war. Common people are affected the most as we are not prepared for situations such as this, we live for the present and the immediate future (most of us).

Long-term storage food, Emergency kits are not something that we plan of. But this is the need of the hour, with the technological advances we have made, going back to basics and being prepared should remain our priority. Like any other natural disaster, in a state of war, life comes to a stand-still. Where do you think one would find gas appliances to cook or filtered drinking water for consumption.

Why not invest in what the soldiers fighting the war believe in, MRE - Meal Ready to Eat. These are lightweight field ration in lightweight packaging bought by the United States military for its service members for use in combat (literally) or other field conditions where organized food facilities are not available. What's better these need not be refrigerated, MREs have also been distributed to civilians during natural disasters. Why not get your pick!!







We also present to you Menu 'C' MRE's. These MRE's are considered Menu ''C'' - there is no Menu A and Menu B in the C (C for Contract) Meals. These MRE Menus were cherry-picked by the Contractor to include the specific 2013 Menu Items that they wanted from Menu's A and B, as well as a lot of extra items and calories. 





When disaster strikes, the time to prepare has passed

Everything You Need To Know About Earthquake.

An earthquake is the sudden, rapid shaking of the earth, caused by the breaking and shifting of subterranean rock as it releases strain that has accumulated over a long time. Initial mild shaking may strengthen  and become extremely violent within seconds. Additional earthquakes, called aftershocks may follow the initial earthquake. 

Like any other disasters, we need to be prepared as much as we can for an earthquake. All 50 states and 5 U.S. territories are at some risk for earthquakes. The risk is higher in identified seismic zones including the San Andreas Fault in California, the Cascadia Subduction Zone in western Oregon and Washington and Alaska, the New Madrid Fault Zone spanning areas in Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky, and areas on the east coast including the mid-Atlantic, coastal South Carolina and New England.




The basic preventive measures for an earthquake is to be prepared with an individual earthquake kit as you could be outdoors when it occurs. If you are outdoors it is advisable to move away from buildings, streetlights and or any utility wires. If you are indoors, take cover under a sturdy table or sit back against an inner wall and cover your head and face with your arms. If you are in a moving vehicle, stay in the vehicle, do not stop under a bridge and any buildings.












Last but not the least, Have a Plan, Prepare & Fortify!!
