Life Boats
Have you ever looked at a
cruise ship and truly noticed the lifeboats along the sides?
How about the pods on the decks for the
life rafts?
The regulations regarding life boats
and life rafts ensure that there will be more than enough capacity to
get 125% of the ship capacity to safety.
Can you imagine a ship that only had
enough for 10 or 20% of the capacity? They are really expensive, and
ideally are never used.
So they sit.
They require maintenance, which means
ongoing cost and replacement costs at their end of life.
But you would not want to be on a ship
that did not have them, especially if there were not enough.
Imagine being in the life boat, looking
at folks trying to get in, but the boat becomes over capacity and
capsizes? Who
would ever want to be in either the position of being in the water, or
being in an overcrowded boat?
It is a terrifying scenario, for sure.
So, why lifeboats? Because if the situation comes around that you need them, you will definitely want them, and you will want enough to carry everyone. We could learn a lot from the cruise lines and shipping industry, looking at why and how many lifeboats and rafts they have.
Emergency Preparedness is
like that.
When done properly, Emergency
Preparedness (aka Prepping) is like building a life raft for you and
your family.
If the storms of life hit, you are in a
much better position to make it through in good shape.
Your neighborhood, your Town, your
County and State.
Our Nation.
This is a huge cruise ship we are on.
The more people who build their own
lifeboats and life rafts, the better off all of us are.
In fact, if we all do our part, and a
little bit more, maybe we will be in a positions to help someone who
falls short when the time comes?
No one else can do it for us, we need
to take responsibility for ourselves and our families; anything above
that is icing on the cake (and well worth it).
So build a solid
lifeboat, talk to your neighbors and get them to do the same.
Work together and make a plan.
It is harder to do these days with
people so increasingly busy and isolated, but it is well worth it.
The more we plan ahead of time, and get
our lifeboats in robust shape, the more we can enjoy the cruise, and
those we are with.
So, do you have a lifeboat for you and your family?
