This is one of the most alarming statistics that I have heard in some time. According to OXFAM, the number of worldwide weather related disasters, have increased 400% since 1980! This British Charity stated that in 1980 there were 120 a year, now there are over 500. These weather disasters are affecting over 250 million people a year.
This means that being prepared is not optional it is essential. If you don’t have a family plan and 72 hour kit then remember Prep2Bless makes it easy.
