Preparing for disaster and infrastructure failure involves requires planning and provisioning. It is also important to foster an awareness of current events, and an understanding of how they directly or indirectly impact our lives. Whether it’s the financial crisis and potential disruption of commerce, an earthquake in China, tornados and flooding in the midwest, or a terrorist threat in Europe, this page will bring you relevant news, serving as a constant reminder that our lives can be dramatically affected by events that are geographically removed from our own day to day world. We select articles for you that illustrate at least these concepts:

  • Disasters occur unexpectedly, with unexpected consequences, and the scope, severity, and duration cannot be gleaned from a single news source.
  • We do not fully understand our world, and we do not control our environment.
  • The government cannot be relied upon for protection, safety, or correct information; our nation is dangerously unprepared for the next disaster.
  • Government regulation often has unintended and even harmful consequences.
  • Technology can fail, despite our best efforts.
  • Privacy is a lost concept.
  • We have lost touch with our history and have rejected the difficult lessons it is capable of teaching us.
  • We often fail to think through the consequences of our actions or inactions.
  • There are people in the world who wish to harm us, and who are working hard to acquire the means to do so.
  • It is impossible to prepare for an emergency after the fact.
