One of my new favorite shows is National Geographic’s Doomsday Preppers, which is all about average Americans who are actively preparing for the END OF THE WORLD… or something almost as bad.

What’s great about the show is that they all have different end-of-the-world scenarios they are preparing for: massive earthquakes, solar flares, economic collapse, volcanic eruptions, plague, etc. (So far, no one has actually admitted to preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse, but I think secretly it’s probably in the backs of their minds…)

If you want to find out how to prepare for your own end-of-the-world disaster-- or just the run of the mill snowstorm—log into our awesome database or head to the Natural Disasters and Weather Emergencies page on our website.

It will provide you with lots of great links! Everything from local news sources to disaster relief organizations; links about preparing disaster kits for your family and pets; research links explaining the mechanics of things like tsunamis and earthquakes. Fema for Kids actually has games to help you prepare for any and every situation.

I still haven’t found the Zombie Apocalypse links, so if you come across them, let me know!
