Household Resilience- A Month Without External Assistance.
In an era marked by increasing natural disasters, geopolitical instability, and infrastructure vulnerabilities, personal emergency preparedness has become a critical component of resilience.
This panel will discuss approaches to maintaining a one-month supply of food, water, and medicine per household member to ensure self-sufficiency during extreme emergencies. Such events—ranging from hurricanes and earthquakes to cyberattacks and pandemics—can disrupt supply chains, utilities, and emergency services, leaving communities isolated and vulnerable.
A well-stocked reserve of non-perishable food, potable water, and essential supplies not only enhances individual and family safety but also reduces the burden on emergency responders and public resources. This proactive approach fosters a culture of readiness, empowering citizens to withstand crises with greater confidence and stability.
