Prepare for impending disasters says inter-governmental panel
The Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has issued a dire warning to the world after a meeting of climatologists in Kampala, Uganda. Get ready for extreme weather as a result of global warming.
Heat waves, floods, droughts, and storms will intensify with the warming of the planet and most countries, and people, in the world aren't prepared.
The CDC, FEMA, and other government agencies have been conducting media campaigns to recommend that every American household has an emergency disaster plan and supplies. Every family should have emergency essentials packed in case they have to leave home fast in an emergency situation. Things to consider are food supplies, water, warmth, health, and safety.
Are you prepared for extreme weather and natural disasters? Are your neighbors? Friends? Family?
Some may scoff, but let them. They won't scoff when they find themselves in an emergency, whether they prepared for one or not.
