Urban Prepping — Emergency Preparedness in the City

www.thearmorylife.com/urban-survival-prepping/ The article "Urban Prepping — Emergency Preparedness in the City" by Kit Perez, published on "The Armory Life," discusses the challenges and strategies associated with survival in urban environments during disaster situations. It emphasizes that surviving in cities requires different skills compared to rural areas, highlighting events like the San Francisco earthquake, Hurricane Katrina, and 9/11 as examples of urban disasters. It outlines the importance of self-defense, particularly through firearm proficiency, due to potential civil unrest and societal breakdown following such disasters. Additionally, the article stresses the significance of situational awareness, blending in during emergencies, and having a bug-out bag ready for evacuation. Perez underlines the need for urban-specific survival training and encourages practicing non-combat scenarios and essential skills like fire-making, operating generators quietly, and de-escalation techniques. These strategies aim to equip individuals to handle the unique survival challenges posed by densely populated urban environments.
