Being Prepared in the event of a Major Disaster

I have just read a post over at The Greening of Gavin about being prepared if disaster strikes.  And I have to admit I doubt my family and I are - prepared that is.

Yes we have gas in our camping and bbq gas bottles.  Not sure how long they would last though.

We have Solar Panels that are portable and will charge the auxiliary car battery so we can have some things refrigerated in our camping fridge.  We even have some solar lights and some led strips in the camper that work off the aux battery.  There's plenty of candles around and matches too.

The only water we have stored is what is left over in the camper's water tank after out last 6 days away.   That tank is only 50-60 litres - not a lot for 5 adults.

As far as stockpiled canned goods go - let's just say I need to do some serious shopping on this front.  Awhile ago I did start to put together a stockpile of these sorts of things - pasta and jars of sauce, canned veges, soups, flour, sugar etc.  I had intended on having 2 top shelves in the pantry dedicated to these things.  The urge to do this lasted about 2 weeks and then I forgot about it. I now have absolutely no idea what is in storage at the moment.  I know 1 of the kids found some oats and was having them for breakfast.

My fresh vege garden is currently a joke.  there are peas growing, beams recently sprouted and lettuce and spinach going to seed.  The tomatoes are still only large seedlings too.  Oh and the plum tree has been eaten over by cockatoos.  So no fresh vege/fruit to speak of.

God help us if anything like ever happens to my family.  We are going to need it.....
