Even the most experienced prepper knows that it’s impossible to prepare for all emergencies. However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try.

Before SHTF, preparing for common emergencies like natural disasters or economic collapse can help your family prepare for the worst and reduce casualties.

Below are some of the most important benefits of emergency preparedness. (h/t to WaldenU.edu)

Being prepared can help reduce fears

Natural disasters and emergencies can take a mental toll on both victims and responders.

While there’s no way to completely prevent the negative psychological effects of experiencing a traumatic event like an earthquake or a flash flood, proper planning can reduce suffering by preventing needless hardship and eliminating or reducing uncertainty about supplies and other aspects of survival.

Before disaster strikes, knowing what to do and where to go can help lessen the fear of the unknown and help your whole family reach safety faster.

Being prepared can help prevent or limit certain disasters

Things like fireproofing, security checkpoints and emergency plans exist to prevent or mitigate disasters.

If a building is designed and built to survive a major earthquake, it is more likely that more people will survive and less structural damage will occur when SHTF. This also illustrates how proper planning and prevention can reduce the negative impact of a natural disaster on communities, especially among vulnerable populations.

This applies to all areas of potential risk. If you can identify your vulnerabilities and take measures to reduce or eliminate them, you can help limit or prevent some disasters and emergencies.

Being prepared can help save lives

Emergencies can be a life-or-death situation. Having predetermined escape and evacuation routes can ensure your family doesn’t get trapped in dangerous locations. Having a stockpile of water and food can prevent starvation or dehydration.

Keep in mind that things can change depending on the type of disaster and the specifics of the situation. While finalizing your emergency preparedness plans, consider the potential threats to your community.

Then, have a system in place to properly identify and prevent potential disasters.

Next, have a strategy for handling the response and recovery. As a prepper, you must understand that proper planning and response can mean the difference between life and death when facing a disaster. (Related: 5 Essential urban repping tips.)

Being prepared can help make it easier to recover

As a prepper, it is best to accept that even with the best possible planning, a disaster or emergency usually results in loss of property or life. Fortunately, you can prepare ahead of time so your losses aren’t catastrophic.

When preparing for emergencies, store copies of important documents in a safe location. Ensure that vital positions of leadership have succession plans.

Prepare a will and finalize a safe place to relocate if your home is destroyed. Knowing how you will keep everything functional after a disaster is key to helping you recover more quickly.
