Disaster Survival: Recovery

I have put off writing this post for several days because honestly, recovering from disaster is the most difficult part of the process and the part I have the least experience with, so this post may end up being a bit short.

Preparing for recovery comes from a very similar mindset as preparing to escape a disaster, think through what you may need and make sure you have those things before you need them instead of after. Plan to grab personal documents on the way out or have them already in your bug out bag. Know your insurance policy, know what it covers and be sure that will be enough for you to recover off of, and if you can, have an emergency fund in place to tide you over until insurance money starts rolling in.

Besides making sure you have things like your birth certificate and are financially prepared the best advice I can give is if you need help, if you need a shoulder or a listening ear, ask. Disaster can bring out the worst in people but it also brings out the best. You may just be supprised what your other travelers on spaceship earth are willing to do.
