It's under settings but I only have emergency and amber alert and I have them both turned off. No 'presidential' alert.
The last time I got a weather alert it was at three in the morning for a flood in another county (meanwhile the tornado a mile away? Nothing). So I decided they were useless. And really loud.

You need, and must provide it when you sign up for
Utilities
Phone service
Cell phone purchase.
Actually on the cell phone, you bought the sim card, which had to be registered to you.
They didn't care about the phone, and you could move the sim card back and forth to thirteen different phones if you wanted to.
But either way, your access to a cell carrier system was predicated on using a registered sim card, associated with your Codici Fiscali.

Oh. Wait. 2006, you say.
By the way, 2006 was the same year that supergenius Dubya signed into law a reauthorization of the expiring LBJ-era Voting Rights Act, on the theory that grateful blacks would then flock to the polls that fall and vote Republican.
Partially correct. Blacks flocked to the polls in the fall of 2006, where they voted their customary straight-ticket Democratic, helping produce the doubleheader takeback of both the House and the Senate by Democrats. Oops.

I keep a brick of Seven Oceans life-raft rations. It's foil-wrapped, waterproof and permanent, and each square is enough calories to call a meal. There are nine in a brick, so you've got food for three days, or three people for a full day. Small enough to fit in most go-to-hell bags. It tastes mildly of coconut, but not enough of anything to tempt you to raid your kit.

Heat is the real problem for bug-out bag provisions in cars.
Even for sturdy stuff like MREs, if you look at the fine print, the safe storage life gets a lot shorter when they're stored at temps over 80F, and the typical car trunk spends a good chunk of the year being a _lot_ hotter than that.
The only solution I've found is rotating the stuff out every three months.

Depends on your situation - I didn't have a bug-out bag for a long time as I didn't figure that there was going to be any reason to leave my home on a moment's notice. There was simply no better place to flee to, so if I left it would be only after a sufficient time to pack and decide where to go.
When I did decide to put together a dedicated BOB is was as much for fun as anything else, as when mainly intended to allow me to live out in the woods (a rather unlikely scenario, admittedly). Now that I have my own apartment, it designed primarily to get me to my parents house, possibly on foot, about fifteen miles away, and secondarily to allow me to cope with something unexpected. I'll be first to admit that it isn't very well thought-out, as my disaster-preparedness planning tends to get mixed in with my desire to play mountain man...
Generally speaking, I think the first question should be "where will I bug-out to?" followed quickly by "why would I want to leave here and face the rigors of the road?" In my case my parents house is both a better place to sit out a disaster than my apartment and I suspect that my parents will need me around there.
Posted by: Grey Fox at January 09, 2016 07:24 PM (bZ7mE)
1st rule of Bug-Out is: don't listen to a goddam word written in the scads of survival magazines. They exist only to sell you merchandise. They are PAID to push the items they push. They do not have your best interests at heart. And their how-to articles are superficial and useless.
2nd rule of Bug-Out is: you MUST put your kit to the test out in the wild, then modify and test again (repeat as necessary.) You must, period. Primitive camp overnight, using ONLY what you carry in. Then go for two days and nights. Then try for more. It's a lot easier with a partner or two, so you can split up the carrying of heavier, shareable items. e.g. one carries a cooking grate and one carries an axe. You'll both use both items, but you don't have to carry both.
I worked my way all the way up to a full week of primitive camping - in the Moab desert - with a survival-minded buddy. Not only is that a long time to live off what you carried in on your back, but we are easterners who had zero experience in the desert and were WAY out of our turf. So it was tough. But we survived. Had a blast, actually, and memories that will last a lifetime.
My Bug-Out kit has undergone extensive revision due to putting it to actual use in real bug-out conditions. It's the only way to learn.

It was a left turn to get to Chick-fil-A, and I sat in the center turn lane for what seemed like an eternity waiting for the traffic to thin out. Another car pulled in behind me, and he started leaning on his horn whenever there was more than a microsecond of space between cars. I guess his plan was to make me turn into oncoming traffic, cause a fatal accident which would block the road, whereupon he could calmly make his turn.
Eventually he ran out of patience and pulled out around me and made his turn, causing another driver to slam on his brakes and mash his horn. Dude must have really been hungry.
Oh, and I stopped at the supermarket on the way home and bought the winning Powerball ticket, so y'all can give up now.

Settings > Notifications > Government Alerts
The Government Alerts is at the bottom of the Notification screen on IOS 9.x.
Mrs. Hobbit and I both have Amber Alerts turned off but the Government Alerts are on.
While it's annoying to get Tornado Watch alerts in the middle of the night, because we get them all the time in the DFW area, we were actually glad to get the Tornado Warning alerts on December 26th.
For me, one of the Tornado Warnings said that there was a tornado in the sky nearby, while for Mrs. Hobbit, it told her that there was a tornado on the ground nearby. She was within a half-mile of the tornado that hit Garland and Rowlett, stuck inside a store with the electricity out.
Last week, we visited the areas of Garland and Rowlett hit by the tornado and it was sobering. I honestly don't know why hundreds weren't killed.

I concur with everything you said.
I'll add:
1. Don't buy a pre-made/pre-filled bag. Most of the contents are crappily made and/or things (or in quantities) you'll never use.
2. Don't over fill it. You'd be amazed at what you toss out or decide really isn't that critical after you've walked a few miles with the bag on your back. There's a whole cottage industry on the Appalachian Trail of people selling gear that hikers have jettisoned.
3. If you're interested in building a bag, I'm going to recommend this site: http://www.ebugout.com/
I don't know the guy (but I've heard an interview with him). I have played with the site and like how it's set up, along with the fact that everything they list a. they have tested themselves and b. they include a weight that gets tallied so you know how much your bag would weigh.

Mrs. Hobbit sent me out to the local convenience store and buy 5 tickets while ago. I'm so naive that she had to tell me to say "5 Powerball Quick Picks." Not that she has much more experience buying lottery tickets than I do -- her brother told her to tell me how to buy the tickets.
I went reluctantly, saying that we had about as much chance of winning the lottery as we do as, um, winning the lottery.
There are three gas and convenient stores at this particular corner. The parking was full at all three and I had to stand in line for 5 minutes.

My home is pretty secure and I'd prefer to bug in right here, but if I look down the street to see the advance of the rising water, leaping flames, or howling mob, then I'd like to have the option to leave here in a hurry without having to take a lot of time to pack.
The concept also simplifies long road trips under normal conditions. Tossing the bugout into the car checks a lot of the boxes that need to be checked, in one single action.

Excellent advice, my friend. And if I may piggyback on that: learn basic knot tying (at the very least, reef knots and hitches.) Learn the basics of wild food foraging. Learn the basics of starting and maintaining fires. Lucky for me, my dad taught me all this stuff when I was a kid, as his favorite thing in the world was hunting, fishing and camping.
Some key books to peruse:
The SAS Survival Handbook (Brit-centric but still essential)
Edible Wild Plants by Elias and Dykeman
Camping and Woodcraft by Horace Kephart (very old but still a Bible of the outdoors)

Bug-out ...
This is my shorter version of the various bug-out comments I've posted here over the years.
If you live in NYC or New Orleans (where there is no food or water), or in the inner-city-part of Chicago, St Louis, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, or Baltimore, then you very probably need to leave. Are you preparing now? No? Why not? When the time comes for you to leave, it's too late. You will be better off staying where you are.
Otherwise, you're better off staying where you are. Keep your your shelter, water, electrical power, supplies, unquestionable citizenship status, right to vote, etc.
The last 2 are starting to look very much more important. Get your passport, SS card and birth certificate, before someone else does .
Bugging-out abandons all of these things, and exposes you to the "Survivor: LA Road Warrior Edition". Expect to die, hungry, dehydrated and out of gas on some crowded desert road with a lot of other people.

The key is having a plan (or actually, multiple plans) and rehearsing that plan. If you have a plan to go to a specific place (a relative's house, the deer camp, whatever) you're going to be in much better shape. Just getting on the road to "head for the hills" is a recipe for disaster.

Consumers do not need to sign up for this service. WEA allows government officials to send emergency alerts to all subscribers with WEA-capable devices if their wireless carrier participates in the program
That's from the FCC link.
Do you have to sign up?
No need to citizen! You have voluntarily been signed up already.
Do not need to sign up my ass. Fuck these people.

Contact with people necessary for work or for your or their safety; fine
Contact just to be reassured that they still love you and you love them; not fine. Waste of time
You don't need instant contact with the web. or one of a zillion time wasting apps.

If you bug-out, where will you go? How many of you will make it? What will happen to you along the way? Others will likely see you as part of the "City hordes".
Fortify, and provide a bypass for the City hordes, and maybe some rationed gas and water on the other side, and I think you have a better chance of survival.

Did u know former Cong. Michelle Bachmann & her husband (& kids) have acquired dual Swiss & U.S. citizenship? She founded her own VERY successful tax accountancy firm in MN-- no fool she.
A digression, somewhat related: the easiest way, imo, for a conservative to win the Presidency is to get 60-65% of all white voters. That will do it. Traditionally, tho, extremely hard to do! RR was the last to do it, & Nixon the only other in recent times.
But... WHAT IF whites are beginning to vote as minority groups already vote, i.e., monolithically, BECAUSE whites correctly perceive that they ARE an embattled minority now?
Gamechanger, if voters can withstand the "you racist bastard!" heat. And heat there will be.

To all those bugging out "in place"- there's probably better than 90% chance your home is indefensible. You just don't realize it.
You're assuming that no one will cooperate. Not a good assumption. While I have only 2 layers of sheetrock on 3 sides, if things went sufficiently stupid, I and my neighbors would set up checkpoints, etc., on the 2 roads that provide access to our area. We've had minor gang trouble (graffiti, a couple of "affiliated loiters", and one resident get stabbed. While we have our differences, we also see reality.

Some years ago, I wrote and sold a dystopian short fiction piece about how a county seat, after the collapse, became a sort of provincial capitol. Intrigues between the Sheriff and his men, the traders, and the local farmers.
Tolls are levied on goods passing thru; records of transactions maintained at the courthouse, which the sheriff has made into his new HQ. It was a lot of fun writing it.

Not very fun to contemplate, either, which is why most of us end up planning for the zombies. I suspect that I lot of us prepper types are romantics at heart - I know I am - and it is difficult to picture oneself as heroic under the circumstances he describes.
Of course, nothing says that there is going to be only one collapse - a long slow decline, interrupted by major disaster, followed by a partial recovery/stabilization and establishment of a (more) totalitarian system, followed by more stagnation and ended (we hope) with more upheaval as the dictators are overthrown is one possible timeline. Which is why, IMHO. it is unwise to get stuck preparing for one particular scenario...

Warning, Alert, and Response Network (WARN) Act passed by Congress in 2006
Sponsor: John Shimkus Rep Illinois's 19th Republican
Congress recently passed the Warning, Alert and Response Network (WARN) Act as part of the larger port security bill, the Safe Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Act).

It probably won't sell for years - nothing does up there. So we'll still be able to use it for awhile.

1. Determine what it is you want to be prepared for. Power outage for a few hours? Ice storm that takes down power a few weeks? Loss of job? Earthquake? Tornado? Economic collapse? That will determine how you prep.
2. Start small. Don't get overwhelmed. Build a "bug out bag." Just because you have it doesn't mean your plan revolves around bugging out. For instance, if it's the middle of the night and the power is out, you'll know where to find it and its contents, as opposed to stumbling around through the house in the dark trying to locate the candles, the matches, a flashlight, batteries, or that crankup weather radio.
3. Gameplan. Wargame. Run scenarios through your head (but don't get carried away; keep it realistic).
For instance:
-If a train derails with HAZMAT near your home, what are you going to do? Where will you go? What will you need for the next few days until you can come home?
-If you lose your job, how long can you hold out until you find new employment? Remember, just because it doesn't affect the entire community en masse doesn't mean it's not an emergency or a disaster on a personal level. I know several preppers that were able to keep their family well fed in for several months in between jobs precisely because they had stocks of food squirreled away.
Just some things to think about.

Excellent comment.
"Prepping" doesn't necessarily mean that you are expecting civil war or SMOD.
Start small and work up from there. What is the minimum you'll need for a few days in the aftermath of a hurricane, tornado, or earthquake? In the northeast, ice storms can cause power outages that last for days or even weeks.

In that case, here's what I'd do (YMMV):
1) Turn off the power in your house for a day or two. Seriously. Have a notebook handy and write down everything that the loss of power affects (food in the fridge/freezer, lighting, heating/cooling, cooking, news sources, entertainment (very important if you have kids), etc. Then you can begin to prepare for those issues.
2) Once you've done that, try it again, but this time turn off the water, too. Go through the same process. Same thing if your home uses natural gas.
3) Have the bugout bag ready in case something happens that makes your home uninhabitable.

That's right. Prepping also means that you live in a country that is systematically destroying its ability to generate and distribute power. Two years ago, during that storm on the east coast, our electricity was out for 4 days.
I remember when I was growing up the electricity would only go out if an apocalyptic storm went on for days, and even then the electric would only be out for a few hours. Now, when the wind blows the wrong way the electricity goes out and who knows when it's coming back on. It's like living in the third world. And the lefties and Indonesians are still trying to do away with what little power generation is left and to make the power grid more brittle every day.

Please don't.
I'm still learning the ways of these retarded hamsters after a decade here.
The last thing I need is for another favorite site to ruin things with a bad mobile app.

I had a co-worker who told me about being a refugee on the boats out of Viet Nam, being shaken down by pirates and losing everything in the refugee camps.
So, when do you think is the right time to refugee out? You postin' from Chile?

Tomorrow is never given.
Hug someone you love tonight.

Sorry man. I'd do the hugging thing but there's nobody I love around to hug.

My angel and her family were 'boat people,' too.
They were fortunate, able to avoid pirates and what-not. Most were not.

I agree with you.
If you go on the internet, and you live in state where you can't be anonymous they advise you put the ticket in a safety deposit box and take as long as possible to claim it-such as almost up to a year so that all the iharrassment dies down. I said to the spouse Id be horrified to win that huge of an amount; My greedy self would be perfectly happy with one million. ;^)

You can do a virtual hug for whichever people on here don't completely annoy you.

One thing that always made me laugh to myself was that she put in the same amount of money to the collection-which was much less than some older people who hadn't won the lottery gave) When I gave her some suggestions of how she could help people with the money or help the church she didn't do anything. The church was having a spaghetti dinner as a fund raiser and she said, "I always think it means more when you have to work for the money. " It was on the tip of my tongue to say, "Yes; I'm sure it was a lot of work going down to the Wawa and plunking down four dollars for lottery tickets but I restrained myself.

When I win the lottery, I'll still go to my job.
I'll just take a posse with some Fly Girls with me.

Since then, I've made a point of mentioning this to house managers of theatres whenever I run into one. (I go to a lot of plays, and the house manager is usually an alert but bored-looking person hanging out in the lobby at intermission in front of a door marked 'private'.) The one at the Stratford Festival in Canada said he thought that was an American thing, but didn't know for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if they do that in Canada, too - or will start doing it, now that Mini-Trudeau is in power.
