Just Three Days

Talk about knowing how to survive when disaster strikes! You've heard about the 33 miners who survived inside a collapsed Chilean mine for 17 days, right? What a story of triumph over adversity.

It sounds like they'll have to stay put for several more weeks - or even months - as their rescuers work to get to them, though. So they've still got a rough challenge ahead.

And it makes me think... would I be ready to survive for 17 days if I was cut off from resources by a disaster? Would you?

The Red Cross recommends you have enough supplies on hand for just three days. In comparison, that sounds like a piece of cake, right? Get a kit, make a plan, be informed.
