Hurricane season is here, and over the past week we've talked about supplies, communications, information, and caring for those who depend on us.
Today, let's talk about something just as important: resilience.
Every disaster reveals two types of people.
Those who create panic.
And those who create stability.
The people who make the biggest difference are rarely the strongest, the loudest, or even the best equipped. They are the people who remain calm, gather accurate information, solve problems, and help others do the same.
Many people think resilience means being tough. In reality, resilience is the ability to adapt when things don't go according to plan. It means staying focused when information is incomplete, making decisions under stress, and accepting that conditions may change. Roads may be closed. Communications may fail. The power may stay out longer than expected. The people who navigate these situations best are not the people with perfect plans. They are the people who can adjust when those plans need to change.
They check on neighbors. They share reliable information instead of rumors. They know where their flashlights are, have fuel in their vehicles, and maintain enough supplies to avoid becoming another emergency someone else has to solve.
Preparedness is not about fear. It is about responsibility.
The more prepared you are, the less burden you place on your family, your neighbors, first responders, and your community when something goes wrong.
One of the most valuable questions you can ask yourself before a disaster is this:
"Would others see me as someone they can rely on during a crisis?"
Preparedness gives you the ability to help instead of simply react. It allows you to support your family, assist your neighbors, and make better decisions when others may be overwhelmed.
Take 15 minutes tonight and identify three things you could do this week to make your household more self sufficient for seven days. Then identify one person, whether a neighbor, family member, or friend, that you should check on during the next emergency.
@weaporize@NEUF_92 I also follow Christ, but still do retarded shit. Pretty sure I follow a few people named Chris, and that has not stopped me either.
@CPowersour16636 I just built my third dream gun, but $$$ are always a factor to a degree. But if $$$ was truly not a factor, I would have two, a very nice Barrett 50 BMG and a F-14 Tomcat
DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE!
Drove the other half to the doc this morning. She wanted Starbucks after. While in DT line, I am texting my oldest to see if the grandkids are coming over this weekend, while ordering her “coffee”. Coincidentally the order ended at the same time as my text messaging, and instead of typing “love you “ to my daughter, when the barista asked if “that was all” I said yes, LOVE YOU. Wife laughed so hard she cried. Remember folks don’t text and drive.
We want a public debate in Florida before the Republican primary. This should not be a difficult ask. Open debate, transparency, and accountability are literally the most basic expectations of a fair and transparent election process.
The party's refusal to hold a debate raises a simple question. Why are they unwilling to give voters the opportunity to hear directly from the candidates?
Let the candidates debate.
Let the voters decide.
You have one job, do it!
Jay Collins is calling out Byron Donalds: any stage, any moderator, any time. Stop ducking and debate. #CollinsVsDonalds #DebateDonalds https://t.co/fnswPNHKzN
