Like preppers in rural areas, urban preppers also take measures to ensure that they are ready for different emergencies. Aside from learning prepping and survival skills, urban preppers stock up on supplies before power outages or evacuation situations. (h/t to TheAtomicBear.com)
Here are some tips that can help urban preppers prepare before SHTF.
As a city prepper, you should know how to navigate your city. You can do this by learning about the different neighborhoods in your area and knowing which areas to avoid.
Study maps and learn how to use a compass as you familiarize yourself with the city’s layout. Take the time to learn about the city’s infrastructure and find where key resources are located. Doing this makes it easier to navigate your city when disaster strikes.
If you’re worried about scenarios like a nuclear threat, find the nearest public underground facilities and buildings where you can hide with your family. (Related: Essential gear for SHTF situations: Choosing the right equipment for survival.)
Before disaster strikes, you must have a plan to evacuate the urban area and head to your bug-out location.
When finalizing your emergency preparedness plan, map out different routes to safety and identify safe locations to go to outside of the urban area if you do not have a set bug-out location. Make sure you also have a plan for how to get transportation out of the main roads if needed. If possible, prepare a bug-out vehicle so you can travel safely after SHTF.
Bugging out is not a decision that is made lightly. This is why you should finalize your plans, prepare an evacuation route and gather supplies before an emergency requires your whole family to bug out.
Your plans should include:
City preppers should also be prepared to bug out at any moment. One easy way to do this is by preparing a bug-out bag with supplies like food, water and a first aid kit.
Here are some things to include in your bug-out bags:
With these items in your bug-out bag, you can improve your chances of surviving an emergency in an urban setting.
If you plan on bugging in, you should make sure your home is fortified against intruders, trespassers and other dangers. Fortify all possible entry points like doors and windows. Stock up on supplies and make sure you can defend the house and your family if needed.
If it’s better to bug in during an emergency, your family will have a better chance of surviving if you have supplies like food and water. Make sure you have enough food and supplies like clean drinking water and non-perishable food items.
You will also need other items such as clothes and medicines. Before SHTF, do not advertise that you have an emergency stockpile. This can help protect your family from looters when disaster strikes.
