With all her beauty and majesty, Mother Nature has proven to be a much greater threat to mankind than anything he has been able to conjure up on his own. Three of her most insidious and virulent threats are:
As significant as the initial consequences of these events may be, their collateral damage may far exceed the initial impact.
Historically, these three culprits have devastated entire populations while killing more humans than all the wars and violent crimes combined. PANDEMICS Pandemics often kill as many as 50% of a population. In the case of the American Indian and the Guanches population of the Canary Islands, smallpox killed in excess of 90% to the total extinction of some populations. Striking every 50 years on average, the power and devastation caused by pandemics can't be overstated. WEATHER & NATURAL DISASTERS Weather has always been a major consideration when planning for long-term survival. The recent examples in New Orleans , Haiti and Chile underscore just how dangerous the initial natural disaster can be, as well as the challenges that persist for weeks; sometimes months, after the event. GEOMAGNETIC STORMS A geomagnetic storm is a temporary disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere caused by a disturbance in space weather. While this occurrence is nothing new to the scientific community, it's far reaching and devastating effects are not widely understood by the general public. Effecting electronics over mass areas of the planet, the 25-50 year cycle of significant geomagnetic storms posses the greatest potential threat to social disruption. The most important thing to remember about Natural Threats is that they know no socio-economic, ethnic or geographic boundaries. They strike at will regardless of your position. Preparation is your best chance for survival. SAFE security solutions identify and provide the most effective preparation against the natural threats facing you and your loved ones.
