Scenario 1

Dateline: 04 Aug 13
Time: 14:03 MST
Event: 75 meter asteroid strike and associated tsunamis
Location: North Atlantic
Warning Time: 17 days

Millions of Americans flee the Eastern seaboard as the newly discovered asteroid plummets toward Earth. Civil Order breaks down as traffic jams, food and water shortages, and felonious crimes occur during the chaos of the 17 day evacuation. Areas near the Appalachians are inundated with refugees and supplies run short and crime escalates exponentially. Will your family eat? Will they be protected from crime? Will they have a place to go?

Scenario 2

Dateline: 17 Apr 15
Time: 22:03 MST
Event: San Madrid Earthquake - 8.6 on the richter scale
Location: American Midwest
Warning Time: 0 days

The San Madrid fault finally plays a repeat of the 1811 quakes but a bit stronger. Geysers of earth erupt from the ground along the Mississippi, and an escarpment of broken earth rises across the river itself. Water floods back upstream looking for an alternative route to the sea, flooding St. Louis. Tens of thousands are killed in the initial quake, and many thousands more die over the coming months due to transport delivery disruptions and aftershocks. Disease and crime also take a toll. What do you do with your family? What will you eat when the trucks aren't bringing in food and the United States is now broken in two as Mississippi bridges collapse? Will refugees from Memphis and St. Louis take what little you have left?

Scenario 3

Dateline: 28 May 11
Time: 0700 GMT
Event: Violent revolution in Saudi Arabia shuts down Middle Eastern oil exports
Location: Worldwide
Warning Time: 24 hours

Violent Islamic fascists overthrow and publicly execute the Saudi royal family. They immediately announce a cessation of oil exports. Simmering religious factions in Iraq erupt in civil war and within 24 hours it spreads to Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain. The worlds largest oil reserves are closed. Hugo Chavez, seeing an opportunity to damage America, announces a 7 day moratorium of Venezuelan oil to the United States. Refineries, denied oil, shut down and can take weeks to restart. Mile long lines form at gas stations, and prices quickly escalate past $25 a gallon. Are you ready? Do you have any gasoline stored and stabilized? Do you have a bicycle? How will your family get groceries, or how will trucks get fuel to deliver food to grocery stores? What will groceries cost with fuel over $25 a gallon? Do you have enough food in your house to give your kids a chance while order is restored? If it's never restored and civil disorder escalates into government collapse, are you ready?

Welcome to Home Prepping. This site is currently open for membership, which is limited to 500 active members. At 500 members, registration is closed and will be re-opened if the site drops below 475 active members. At all times the site will be open for anyone to read, but you will only be able to post to the website if you are an active member. Memberships are inactive after 30 days of inactivity.

Our goal is this: A website that is free of the religious dogma, political discussions, and above all conspiracy theories that permeate other survival and prepping sites. Our site is about friendly exchange of information, correcting misconceptions, and forming groups in your area to promote not only survival but wellness during and after any disaster.

Disclaimer: This isn't a professional site. If you have a problem, please let me know at admin@homeprepping.com. I will try to fix it. If I choose not too, remember this is a free service. The homepage is what I created with my meager skills, and no, I don't want to pay for your professional help in setting it up.

Our rules:

No political discussion - This doesn't mean you can't share an idea that would be considered political if it enhances the survival formula, but any endorsement of candidates or a left/right ideology will result in penalties. To be clear, we have an area for political issues that directly affect prepping, such as world events or policy decisions. That area is not to be used to hawk candidates for an office, bash our fellow members for their beliefs, etc.

No religious discussion - This doesn't mean you can't share religious concepts that enhance survival, but you can't discuss theological issues. There are forums for that, this isn't that forum.

No conspiracy theories - Under no condition will this be tolerated. No talk of government camps, mystery planets, the Mayan calendar, Nostradamus, etc. You will get one warning, then you will be removed from the forums permanently. This site is dedicated to accurate information, not mystical speculation or paranoid delusions.
