Rising waters might be the least of your worries, probably the last to happen. Years away, right? And hopefully, as Trump says, it’s all a hoax.

Just the Earth’s cycles, relax.

The Great Flood melted all the ice causing whiplash tsunamis from here to kingdom come.

The precautionary principle warns, be ready, just in case.

Monster fires, melting ice caps, floods, drought.

What’s happened in your country, town, neighborhood?

Time to learn resiliency.

  1. Mental and emotional — get your head around it.
  2. Food — canned and dried stores.
  3. Shelter — can you knock up a hut out of salvage?
  4. Water — rainwater collection and purification solutions.
  5. Financial — have stashed cash and some gold and silver.
  6. People Capital — collective skill base.
  7. Upskill — can you skin a rabbit?

You’ll feel better.
