President Obama on Friday turned prepper, with a proclamation regarding National Preparedness Month that warned emergencies, “from hurricanes and wildfires to cyber and terrorist attacks, can strike anywhere at any time.”

In his proclamation, he said each household should have its own plan.

“Before emergencies occur, we must make sure we are ready to respond, and it is every American’s responsibility to be prepared. There are simple but important steps we can all take to ensure we know what to do and have what we need in the event of a crisis. National Preparedness Month is an opportunity to talk with our families, friends, and colleagues about the risks in our communities and to practice our responses in all the places we regularly visit.”

He said Americans “should be familiar with local threats and hazards and take steps to reduce their devastating impacts.”

“Families should assemble a disaster supplies kit well in advance and have a plan to reconnect after a tragedy,” the president said.

He said his administration has invested “billions of dollars” in disaster relief.

“We bolstered coordination with our local, state, tribal, and territorial partners to cut through red tape and kept our commitment to rebuild stronger and fully recover together. We are harnessing our nation’s innovative spirit to develop new tools and technologies that will empower survivors and better inform Americans before, during, and after an emergency.”

And he boasted of launching “America’s PrepareAthon!” to help with readiness.

Thought I'd post this just before hitting the sack tonight.

Hey thanks for the warning, Zero. Somehow America hasn't figured out yet that you are the real disaster that you should be warning us about. </sarc>

What the hey?

[Thorliveshere]

Come on, what is it, Obummer, the economy is “turning around,” or are we all aimed for an impending doom which us “bitter clingers” have been warning everybody else for the last....er...6 years?

[FlyingEagle]

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for

[Paladin2]

So, in a TOTUS precipitated crisis, who are we to attack?

[Vendome]

Whatever walking richard head with ears.

Way ahead of you...

[clintonh8r]

Did Mullah Mocha mention ammo?

[mrsmith]

Great post!

And everything he says is a lie... wow!

[TADSLOS]

Sleazy Ping.

[Paladin2]

So, where are the ammo stamps?

Not sure how you prepare for the disaster that the "transformation" enacted by idiot progressives has turned out to be. I do understand the question "will the U.S. health care system survive 0bamacare?" or "will race relations survive relentless media agitation?" but that isn't a sort of survival a closet full of canned beans is going to address.

How shall we prepare for disaster, then? Shall we list the survival assets the 0bama administration has actively tried to take away? Firearms and ammunition, personal savings, privacy, networked communications that are neither censored nor gathered for later analysis? The ability to do nearly anything that isn't criticized, controlled, or forbidden by an incompetent government "expert"?

What needs to happen for the citizens to survive is for a greedy, power-mad, stifling, incompetent government to just shut up and get the hell out of the way. And that isn't going to happen.

“Through this initiative, communities across our country will participate in the second national day of action on September 30, providing Americans of all ages with resources and opportunities to increase their preparedness,” he said.

Arbeit Macht Frei!

"'Families should assemble a disaster supplies kit well in advance and have a plan to reconnect after a tragedy,' the president said."

There's only so much that you can do with an EBT card.

Notice how he didn’t say anything about having a firearm to protect your family if the SHTF? Without that, all of the rest of your preparations are useless. Because somebody else with a firearm can just take it all away from you.

[cherry]

if I was going to add anything, it would be just to buy your supplies with cash......no entities need to know what you have....

Hey, this could lead to a Cabinet level position for Looter Guy!

Tell me about it, I had to check twice to see if this was an Onion or a John Semmens article. We are 12 days away from September 11th with a completely wide open border with drug gangs and no doubt ISIS fanatics in the country all thanks to this Kenyan psychopath, so is he trying to tell us something? NYC is especially vulnerable and my brother lives there and about 2 blocks from Times square and they put this commie idiot in office as Mayor who all but did away with the terror prevention unit of the NYPD - real brilliant, so we are telling him to get the hell out of the city ASAP. They got 17,000 taxi cabs rolling all over the city, half of them driven by Muslims...HELLO! Absolutely nothing the NYPD could do about that because there is no more intel thanks to Bill De Blasio, so if any one of them decided to rig his cab with explosives and set it off in the middle of Times square during peak hour and take out a few thousand tourists there’s nothing the NYPD can do, it’s already too late.

[Huskrrrr]

Isis is headed our way.
