   I write a blog called Open Source Intelligence News (OSINT) and as a member of the Association For Intelligence Officers (AFIO), have been security minded when it comes to terrorist attacks. However, the number of natural disasters, due to climate change, is becoming rather significant. I recently wrote an article on this topic and ways families can protect themselves from a suddent cut-off of essential needs. The article didn't mention that children who have experienced a disaster may be traumatized for years to come, so parents must prepare their kids for emergencies without scaring them unnecessarily, and access resources that can help them after a disaster strikes.

   With the increase in activity of earthquakes, floods, home fires, hurricanes (the number of tropical storms broke a 100-year-old record), mudslides, nuclear power plant accidents, the threat of nuclear attack, terrorist attack and detonating WMD's like the Oklahoma City bombing, not to mention Cyber, dirty bomb, chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear attack, severe thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rain, hail, lightning, strong winds, flooding and tornadoes, tornados, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, droughts (poor Texas), wildfires, winter storms, Blackouts and power outages...the list is more, and it's due to rapid climate change. The free OSINT News site has a neat article listing dozens of preventative measures you can take to protect your family members. I hope you get some mileage out of it.

   I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Excellent work!
