Dear Friend,

My name is Aaron Turpen, editor of this site, Truth2America, and the monthly Truth2America Manifesto. I’m also the author of dozens of books and ebooks. I’m very proud of my latest work: Survival of the Smartest: The First 72 Hours because it address a problem I believe is rampant throughout our modern world. In my humble, yet honest, and very informed opinion, modern Americans are simply NOT equipped to face natural disasters, economic collapse, or a serious terrorist attack. Let’s take man-made events out of the equation for just a moment.

The truth is, natural and disasters are relatively common—and appear to be growing more frequent and more extreme.

Even worse, if you do face a major disaster in your area… you’ll probably be on your own, at least in the initial stages.

When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in 2005, at first it appeared government agencies were poised to respond. News crews covered the approaching disaster. Officials issued statements as the weather grew worse. The governor was on TV.

But once the hurricane hit, help was difficult, if not impossible to find.

With the exception of the U.S. Coast Guard, which single-handedly rescued half of the 60,000 people stranded in New Orleans, most government agencies failed to respond adequately during Hurricane Katrina.

More than 1,800 people died as a result—with more than 1 million people evacuated and 300,000 homes destroyed.

Every year, hundreds of millions of people worldwide are evacuated or driven from their homes due to natural or man-made disasters.

The Munich Re Group, a reinsurance company that tracks worldwide disasters, estimates that there are about 750 to 850 large-scale disasters every year—with the total death toll ranging from as low as 10,000 deaths (in 2009) to as many as 250,000 (in 2008 and 2004).

The most deadly disaster is fire. Fire kills more Americans than all other natural disasters combined—the overwhelming number (85%) occur at home.

In 2009, fire departments responded to 377,000 home fires in the United States, which claimed the lives of 2,565 people. In addition, there were 78,000 wildfires spread over 6 million acres.

The most common disaster is flooding. According to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), everyone in the United States lives in a flood zone. It’s only a question of whether you live in a low, moderate—or high-risk area.

You are 6 times more likely to face a flood at home than you are a fire. While floods only kill an average of 200 people a year in the U.S., the property damage is staggering.

Beyond fire and flooding, however, there are many other types of disasters or emergencies you may face:

The Terrifying Reality of Tornadoes!

The U.S. has more tornadoes than any other place in the world . According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2004 had a record 1,817 tornado reports in the U.S.

Tornadoes can last for several seconds or for more than an hour, but most last less than 10 minutes.

The force of a tornado can be terrifying: It can strip asphalt off of highways like it’s Silly Putty^®… toss houses into the air like they were made out of plastic… and destroy entire neighborhoods in a matter of seconds.

Learn the steps you need to take if you’re ever caught in a tornado or other weather disaster. Please get my e-book Survival of the Smartest: The First 72 Hours right now for just $19.97. If you order it right now, I’ll throw in a special bonus ABSOLUTELY FREE: you’ll get an invaluable checklist to ensure your family has the basics you need to survive and even thrive in the face of any disaster.

You Can Avoid Becoming a Statistic on the Evening News

Fortunately, you’re NOT helpless before or even during a major disaster.

There are many simple, easy, inexpensive steps you can take right now to prepare for the most common disasters you’re likely to face—and ways you can cope even during catastrophes, such as a medical emergency.

I’ve arranged for you to get a special disaster preparedness manual that I believe should be readily accessible in every home and automobile in America.

It’s called Survival of the Smartest: The First 72 Hours. It’s chock-full of proven survival strategies, disaster preparedness techniques and the very best information that can make all the difference in a true emergency.

As you know, I believe that disaster preparedness equals self-reliance. The steps you take now to prepare for possible disasters will make you stronger… more independent… and more self-reliant than you are now.

As usual, you won’t find this privately printed manual in stores. I’ve arranged for a specially printed edition exclusively for my extended family of readers, and I’ve made sure it’s filled with practical, real-world strategies for coping with the catastrophes that are becoming increasingly common in our troubled world.

Your copy of Survival of the Smartest: The First 72 Hours also comes with detailed checklists for preparing in advance for the most common disasters you’re likely to face.

These practical, no-nonsense steps can be implemented over the course of a few hours, then practiced and refined for a few weeks or a few months so you’ll be prepared no matter what happens.

Beware the Storm Surge! Surviving a Hurricane

Hurricane season in North America is generally between June and November.

Technically, hurricanes are tropical cyclones with torrential rains and winds of 74 to 155 miles per hour or faster. These winds blow in a counter-clockwise direction (clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere) around a center “eye”.

The “eye” of a hurricane (where it’s quieter) is usually 20 to 30 miles wide, and the storm may be spread out as far as 400 miles!

As the hurricane approaches a coast, a huge dome of water (called a storm surge) will crash into the coastline. Nine out of ten people killed in hurricanes are victims of storm surge, not the winds themselves!

Find out what to do if you live in, or vacation near, a hurricane zone.

You don’t normally think of Southern California as a place where torrential rainfall destroys property.

But in January 2011, that is precisely what happened: More than four inches of rain flooded cities throughout the Greater Los Angeles area, causing massive flooding and mud slides.

Entire freeways were washed away. Concrete channels cracked. Homes toppled down hillsides, leaving their uninsured owners homeless and financially devastated.

What’s more, weather experts are now predicting that Californians may face a disaster even greater than the giant earthquake that has long been predicted: a “superstorm” that could flood a quarter of the state’s homes and cause $300 billion to $400 billion in damage.

Experts say cataclysmic storms have struck California in the past and one is now long overdue—a Biblical flood that could dump 10 feet of water on the state.

The truth is, no matter where you live in North America, you face the possibility of an extreme weather emergency.

Whether it’s a hurricane in Florida… a tornado in Oklahoma… flooding in the Pacific Northwest… blizzard conditions in Canada… blistering heat waves in Arizona… a tsunami in Hawaii… or raging wildfires in Nevada… almost everyone should be ready for some sort of emergency.

Fortunately, you can prepare in advance for the most common extreme weather disasters in your area.

Experts call this “mitigation,” an effort to lessen the impact disasters have on people, property, communities and the economy.

It is also about reducing or eliminating risks before disasters strike and involves planning, commitment, preparation and communication between local, state and federal government officials, businesses and the general public.

Some examples of mitigation you can do yourself include installing hurricane straps to secure a structure’s roof to its walls and foundation… building outside of flood plains… securing shelves and loose objects inside and around your home… following disaster-effective building codes and standards… using fire-retardant materials … the list goes on and on.

One example: After decades of wildfires in the Southwest, residents have learned some very effective techniques to prevent their homes from burning. In the great Laguna Beach fire of 1993, most of the homes in the fire’s path were reduced to a pile of ashes while a few, that had fire retardant landscaping and construction, stood standing without so much as a smudge.

The same is true of flooding: While it may not be possible to avoid all damage from flooding, there are steps you can take to protect your loved ones and your property.

For example, you can elevate fuse boxes, breakers and meters to high locations in your home—and install “check valves” in sewer traps to prevent flood water from backing up into drains.

Earthquakes, while terrifying, also can be mitigated in advance with proper preparation.

There are many ways you can retrofit or reinforce your home’s foundation and frame. Other earthquake-safety measures include installing flexible gas lines and automatic gas shutoff valves. (Changes to gas lines and plumbing in your house must be done by a licensed contractor who will ensure that the work is done correctly and according to code. This is important for your safety.)

In your copy of Survival of the Smartest: The First 72 Hours , you’ll discover literally HUNDREDS of little-known steps you can take to prepare for, and survive, virtually any natural disaster. For example, you’ll find out…

You cannot see, smell, taste or feel radiation, but special instruments can detect even the smallest levels of radiation in your home. After an incident, authorities will monitor levels of radioactivity to determine the potential danger.

However, since it may take days or weeks before First Responders could get to you, you should purchase your own radiation detection devices for your home and Disaster Supplies Kits. Your have four basic options:

• Survey Meter—measures rate of exposure or intensity of radiation at that specific location if you stayed there for an hour … like a speedometer in a car (cost: $300-$1,000+)
• Dosimeter—a pen-like device you can wear that measures total dose or accumulated exposure to radiation as you move around (needs a charger too – cost: $45-$65+ each)
• KFM kit—(Kearny Fallout Meter) measures radiation more accurately than most instruments since it’s charged electrostatically. Free plans online or available as a low-cost kit ($40-$75). And a great science project for kids.
• NukAlertTM—a patented personal radiation meter, monitor and alarm small enough to fit on a key chain. The unit warns you with chirping sounds if it detects radiation. (cost: $160)

Violent riots and protests can happen suddenly, without warning, any time and any place. Many events can erupt into dangerous civil disturbances: A police shooting, a bad court decision, a rowdy crowd after sporting events, or racial tensions in a neighborhood.

Sometimes a peaceful rally, concert or party can turn violent and spill over into neighborhoods or business districts. Sometimes authorities can block off the affected areas—other times things may just go crazy.

For example, in 1999 in Seattle, anti-globalization protests suddenly turned violent and people caught in the ensuing melee were badly hurt. The Rodney King riots in Los Angeles were another example.

In addition to civil unrest, however, there is also the still-ominous threat of terrorism—both domestic and foreign.

Terrorism is the use of force or violence against persons or property usually for emotional or political reasons or for ransom. The main goal of terrorists is to create public fear and panic.

Terrorist strikes can also occur in the most unlikely of places. In 1995, the second-worst terrorist strike in U.S. history occurred in Oklahoma City when (according to the official story) three anti-government survivalists blew up the federal building with a car bomb packed with fertilizer, killing 168 people and wounding 650.

Because of 9-11, Americans tend to associate terrorism with bombs… but a far more common terrorist threat is a lone gunman armed with a semi-automatic or automatic weapon.

While there have been only a few successful bomb attacks by terrorist groups in American history, there have been literally dozens of terrorist attacks waged by disgruntled or insane individuals in American elementary, high schools and universities as well as Post Offices, shopping malls, and other public places.

In 2007, for example, a lone gunman at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Seung-Hui Cho, was able to gun down 32 people before he eventually committed suicide.

The next year, a graduate of Northern Illinois University killed six people and wounded 17 others when he opened fire in a crowded auditorium before he killed himself.

Altogether, there were at least nine school shootings in both 2008 and 2009 in the United States and 11 in 2010.

In early 2011, a mentally ill community college student in Tucson, Arizona, shot and wounded a U.S. Congresswoman, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and killed six people, including a nine-year-old girl and a federal judge.

While there is little an individual can do to prevent spectacular terrorist strikes like the bombing in Oklahoma City or 9-11, there are strategies you can use to cope with more limited terrorist strikes.

The World Nuclear Association reports that, as of October 2008, there are 439 commercial nuclear power reactors in 30 countries with 367 more reactors under construction or planned.

The U.S. has over 100 commercial power plants, mostly on the East Coast and in the Midwest, and Canada has 20 power stations.

Even though governments and associations monitor and regulate construction and operation of plants, accidents are possible and have happened.

For example, in April 1986, a power outage at the nuclear power station in Chernobyl, Ukraine, resulted in an explosion in the reactor, sending a radioactive plume over a wide area and resulting in the evacuation of 300,000.

While 53 reactor technicians died directly as a result, it’s estimated that another 4,000 people died from the radiation exposure in subsequent years. Most of these victims died from cancer.

Unfortunately, accidents at nuclear power stations are not the only worry when it comes to nuclear power. That’s because the 9-11 terrorist attack alerted technicians to another possible threat: A direct attack on a nuclear facility.

What would happen, for example, if terrorists flew a 747 jet directly into a nuclear power station? Safeguards may prevent a full-scale meltdown of the reactor, but the possibility of widespread fallout is still real.

In addition to nuclear accidents, another real danger is the accidental or deliberate release into a populated area of hazardous materials—either chemical or biological.

There are more than 500,000 products transported in America that can pose a serious health hazard—ranging from waste products produced by a petroleum refinery to materials used by your local dry cleaners to pesticides stored in your home. I know about these products because I was once a truck driver and I had a Hazardous Materials license and certification.

Most hazardous materials are transported around the country by road, rail and through pipelines potentially causing spills on highways, near railroad tracks or underground.

Your copy of Survival of the Smartest: The First 72 Hoursalso covers what to do if you face exposure to nuclear or other hazardous materials.
