How to survive : Tips for surviving the end of the world and various other disasters
Source: CDC
With Frankenstorm and Hurricane Sandy freaking everyone out (and creating a giant influx of storm mocking memes) this Outhouse writer decided that a little preparedness couldn’t hurt. In fact, I’m going to do you one better and compile a giant help page that you may find useful in a variety of disaster situations. With no further ado, good luck and god speed.
