A Nuclear Blast? How to prep as a homeschooler.

Psalms 91:1-2,5-6

[1]He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

[2]I will say of the Yahuah, He is my refuge and my fortress: my Eloah; in him will I trust.

[5]Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

[6]Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

Sooooo...yesterday an article and video came out in the AMNY on how to survive a nuclear blast. Well, I looked into it and it leaves a lot of unanswered questions. It's very vague but not down to detail. Some of the unanswered questions are:

1) What do I do if I'm underground?

2) Will the schools go into lockdown?

3) Will NYC go into lockdown?

4) Do I stay in my home or go to a shelter?

And many more. As a homeschool parent, these are things I have to take into consideration because it's not only me but my children as well. So I have to be prepared for any imminent threat. I have prepared by training the children to walk. In case of emergency and we are unable to use the bus, we are going to have to walk home. So we walk far distances so their legs can be strong. I have a toddler now so his legs are still tiny, I don't go far away from home though anymore. I also trained them to walk up lots of stairs. You will not be able to use the elevator so we got up and down some stairs. I've also trained myself to do it. It's been a while, but now I think it's time to do it again. If you have to leave, have a go-bag ready by the door with your important information in it in case you have to run and grab it. This should have water, nuts, can goods, sanitizer, etc. The most important thing is to not panic. I have to be calm so the children can be calm in situations. We always have to be on alert in case of an emergency. The most important of all is to learn about your city on foot without a map. There were times in life when I had to learn directions quickly, (thanks for the tip mommy) and I've kept that with me ever since. Look at street signs, stores, and how to get from point A to point B on foot. I'm proud to say that I can walk to New Jersey on foot in case of an emergency. I hope it never gets to that point though. It'll take me a few days because I walk slow lol but ill get there lol. I'm writing this to say that now is the time to prepare for a threat and as a homeschooler, I know that my children are here safe with me. You can also prepare your children who are in public school. Have them know all the exits, keep a go-bag in their locker, and have a meet-up location. These are just a few things you can do. I will leave the article below and you can check it out. Please feel free to share your plans and preparation. And as always I hope I have provoked thought today🌹
