What are basic provisions for disasters?
Sources:
Tim Ferriss emphasizes the importance of having basic provisions and backup plans for disaster preparedness. Here are some key points he mentions:
- Fire Extinguishers: Similar to having a fire extinguisher at home, which you hope to never use but is important for safety.
- Generators: Useful for maintaining power during outages.
- Backup Water: Ensuring you have sufficient water supply, ideally for at least a week.
- Charging Devices: Ability to charge devices without access to the power grid.
- General Preparedness: Being prepared for situations like Hurricane Sandy, where power loss was significant and cell towers were overloaded.
Such measures are relatively easy to implement and can mitigate high levels of downside during disasters 1 1 .
