3 minutes, 3 hours, 3 days, 3 weeks


Late one evening this week I received a phone call from one of my children, asking what to pack as he was evacuating his house to escape a fire.  Without giving it much thought I told him to pack dust masks (3 minutes without air), water (3 days without water), and a power bank for his phone.

Now that he is safe, I am thinking that for urban survival in the event of natural disasters, we should think about preparedness much differently from outdoor survival.
