I'm looking forward to lots more interesting topics here. One thing I would like to see is a "jump in where you are" approach to emergency preparedness. Almost everyone has some preparations, after all. It's just a matter of continuing to move along the continuum from "I can survive an afternoon without electricity" to "I can go three weeks without seeing another soul or having any utilities" to "a year without power, water, or sanitation? No problem."

I would like discussions about how those with special dietary needs can prepare.

Specifically, how different restrictions can evaluate emergency supplies (e.g. hidden ingredients) and modify general preparedness tips to fit their needs.

The restrictions I know of are:

Diabetes
Gluten intolerance
Wheat allergy
Egg allergy
Seafood allergies
Fruit allergies
Kosher
Halal
Vegetarian
Vegan
Hypertensive

Thank you for your attention

I would be very interested in not only straightforward preparedness, but also thinking along the lines of who is in your household (ie. pets, children, seniors, etc.) and what really should be packed/prepared for each person. I myself have several pets and it would be irresponsible of me to not pack enough to feed them for some time and a safe and sturdy kennel to keep them in…..
