"Survivor Day", Richmond (VA) and personal preparedness

Don't wait for the Feds! Become more self-sufficient ... its the old libertarian adage about supporting yourself so your federal government doesn't have to. Richmond has a good idea ... I'm sure down the road, a well-educated prepared populace reduces the cost of emergency response for the city.


What is Survivor Day?

Richmond Ready is a concept the City adopted to ensure planning, preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation are not just actions taken by public safety officials and private partners but also the private citizen. Being prepared can reduce fear, anxiety, and losses that accompany disasters. The issuance of a survival kit following a 4 hour training session will give each household that edge of confidence! Our citizens must be ready and able to deal with such events.
