TWITTER, the popular
social networking site
can also be used as a
survival tool. Consider this, if you are in an emergency situation and your family is scattered all over town, you can “Twitter” them to update them on which emergency to implement. Obviously you don’t want to be specific, but you and your family should have discussed your plans in advance. You should have plan A, B and C. Then “Twitter” them and let them know which one to do.
You’ve probably heard about the recent twitter updates that have also helped people with airline customer service complaints. Well therefore it can also be used to communicate in an emergency.
Now, don’t make this your primary method of communication. What if internet and /or phone service is down? You must have an alternate method such as walkie talkie’s or 2 way radio.
Remember the recent rioting in Iran after their elections? “Twitter” was used to get information out of the country and it was one source of information for the rest of the world to hear about what was going on in that country.
If they can do that with Twitter, you can get creative and use it for a useful transfer of information rather than just chatting.
Modern survival is about getting creative. And in this chaotic world, it’s the creativity of the human spirit that will help you thrive, not just survive.
Check back tomorrow, we will begin a discussion on how to set up your family in “preparing” mode.

Why? First and foremost – reliability. It’s the most reliable vehicle I currently own. That’s what’s most important. The last thing you need during an emergency is a vehicle problem! Use the most reliable vehicle you own regardless of what it is. The type of vehicle is less important than it’s reliability. Comfort is secondary too.
