Preparing for emergencies is a wise course of action for everyone. Below are recommended disaster preparedness items that can be purchased online. I base these recommendations upon the lessons learned from the supplies that I have bought over the years as I have prepared for emergencies at at home, at work, and when traveling. Hopefully some of the same items that have helped keep my family prepared will help yours too.

Cryptocurrency
In the event of a major collapse of the word’s financial markets, the US dollar may lose much if not all of its value. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin may be worth looking into as a store of value that is not subject to the sort of inflation and devaluation that has struck numerous countries over the years.
