Hurricane Season is Coming Soon - Don't Wait to Buy Go Bag and Gather MRE, Says CampingSurvival.com
According to CampingSurvival.com, now is the time to ensure an emergency go bag is ready and MRE (meals ready to eat) are on hand for Hurricane Season 2007. Lest we forget last year's Hurricane Ernesto or the incomprehensible devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, a new crop of storms is on the horizon for a season beginning in less than two months.
Fulton, NY (PRWEB) May 5, 2007 -- According to CampingSurvival.com, now is the time to ensure an emergency go bag is ready and MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) are on hand for Hurricane Season 2007. Lest we forget last year's Hurricane Ernesto or the incomprehensible devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, a new crop of storms is on the horizon for a season beginning in less than two months.
According to a forecast prepared at Colorado State University, hurricane activity will be significantly higher than last year. In fact, they predict an 74% chance of a hurricane making landfall in 2007, up from the 52% average of the last century. Additionally, they predict that there is a 50% likelihood of a hurricane hitting the East Coast (average for last century is 31%), and 49% likelihood on the Gulf Coast.
Tom Sciacca, owner of CampingSurvival.com, anticipates shortages of both the popular go bag and MRE as storm season approaches and people around the country prepare better than last year. The lessons of Katrina have taught us that in a monumental disaster, personal preparedness is your best ally, not only in the event of a hurricane, but for floods, forest or brush fires, earthquakes, tornados and other events.
"There is no place on Earth that doesn't have the risk of some kind of natural disaster," said Sciacca. "Mother Nature has proven time and again that you can never be assured of absolute safety. That's why we're in business to help people proactively prepare."
Go bag entered mainstream conversation two years ago after news reports focused on the importance of such kits for surviving the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster. Chances are, families will have to fend for themselves for at least a little while after a storm. And while it's possible to put together the emergency kits, it's much easier to buy them already assembled and with components chosen by experts for usefulness and durability.
Each go bag from CampingSurvival.com includes food, water and essential items, designed to keep users self-sufficient during the peak of storm-related hysteria:
- 1 backpack. Deluxe Waterproof Nylon Black Day Pack
- 6 MRE's
- 6 MRE heaters
- 9 AquaBlox. purified emergency drinking water
- Survival kit in a can. 38 items which can provide warmth, shelter and energy
- Survival blanket
- Emergency rain poncho
- G.I. style aluminum canteen cup
- High energy government survival candy
- Hooah energy bar
- Personal hygiene kit
- Mini first aid kit
- Hand powered flashlight
- Chow set
MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) are military rations, precooked, sealed and designed to keep for at least 5 years. They are available in a large range of flavors, including gourmet choices like Beef Ranchero Meat Loaf, Jamaican Pork Chop, Chicken with Cavatelli, and Black Bean and Rice Burrito. The MRE are not just entrees. Kits contain full meals, including side dishes, dessert, crackers, spread and coffee.
Hurricane season provides an excellent reminder that any natural disaster - flash flood, earthquake, tornado - can require people to provide for themselves in the short term. A go bag and MRE are easy ways to prepare.
