DARYL'S TALK
 

Day to day, we are exposed to fires in the north, massive rains, and flooding from the Midwest to the East Coast. Consistently, we are reminded of tornado's in the Southeast and excessive heat in the Southwest.

 

Not to mention the multiple shelter-in-place orders due to train derailing or chemical plant explosions. A 2022 Harris Poll confirms Americans are concerned about food insecurity, with 71% concerned about food shortages.

Civil Protection is an effort to protect the citizens of a state from human-made and natural disasters. The programs were initially discussed as early as the 1920s. The United States Office of Civilian Defense was established in May 1941 to coordinate civilian defense efforts. By the early 60s, the United States Government launched an ambitious effort to install fallout shelters with supplies throughout the United States. Today, all these responsibilities belong exclusively to you.
