It doesn't take a history lesson to highlight the fact that when societies crumble, whether it's due to a localized natural disaster, the full scale dissolution of a country, or anything in between, and the rule of law falls away, our ability to defend our own lives and the lives of our families can be the difference between life and death. We only need to watch the news to see the truth in those words across the globe. If you consider what is at the heart of the desire to be prepared in times of crisis and disaster, it is always about protecting the ones we love and ensuring their survival.
