Bug Out or Bug In...In the News

There are a number of events happening around the world right now that are requiring that people either bug out or bug in, depending on the disaster.

• In Haiti, Americans are being told to bug in due to public unrest.
• In Japan, floods are forcing many people to bug out.
• In Los Angeles, people are having to choose whether to bug out (if they can) or bug in (and somehow survive) extremely hot weather and no power.
• In the west, wildfires are forcing people to bug out.

The bottom line is that you need to be prepared to do both--either bug in or bug out--with little warning and for an indeterminate period of time.
