Preparing for 2014: Five Essentials for the Inevitable Emergency

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- From food shortages and natural disasters to political unrest and economic uncertainty, the world is not a predictable place. Recent surveys show that a quarter of the U.S. population have done nothing to prepare for a significant emergency, with much of this inactivity due in large part to a lack of knowledge about how to get started.  To help reverse this trend, Legacy Food Storage today issued a short article highlighting five essentials that can help anyone withstand an emergency, whether a natural disaster or the financial short-fallings that come with unemployment.
