March Challenge #15 Protect Yourself

You are your best (sometimes only?) asset when it comes to a disaster so it will pay to protect yourself now and into the future so that you can respond to any threat you may run into.  Here's how:

• Eat right (and skip the junk food)
• Exercise daily (it will get you in great physical shape and protect your overall health)
• Keep up with your vaccinations (to protect yourself from random measles outbreaks or tetanus among other things)
• Learn hand to hand self defense methods (karate, krav maga, etc)
• Use the layered defense method for your home
• Always be situationally aware
• Practice blending in to your environment
• Learn to use weapons for self defense
• Get your concealed carry license
• Don't get yourself into situations that can have a negative outcome for you (drunk in public, having an affair, hanging out with people who are always in trouble, etc)
• Always be security conscious
• Always consider an exit strategy for whatever situation you are in
• Carry yourself with confidence
• Disengage yourself from problem people in your life
• Consider the legal consequences of your actions to stay out of legal trouble
• Take care of problems that arise as soon as possible (medical problems, psychological problems, social problems, etc)
