The storm that hit the Philippines was the storm of a
century and its been ten days since it hit shore. It completely devastated the country and has
created a dire survival situation for everyone there. For many there is no food, or help in sight. It
is a sober reminder for everyone that disaster could strike any of us and
sometimes even with all our preparations Mother Nature can throw a curve
ball. That being said the fact that the
situation there has been covered so extensively by media gives us a unique opportunity
to look at what the people there are dealing with and to use that knowledge to
prepare better ourselves.
