National Severe Weather Preparation Week is a great reminder to get ready for situations in which the basic necessities of life are no longer readily available. Allen Baler's company, Reboot Marketing, specializes in this area.
Nashville, Tenn., United States / ACCESSWIRE / March 4th, 2014 / Call it global warming or call it a fluke. Call it climate change or call it a natural occurrence. Call it whatever anyone who want to, but the fact remains that the weather seems to be dominating much of the news across the U.S. almost every week.
California and the Southwest are in the midst of an historic drought. The Midwest has been experiencing consistent deep-freeze temperatures such as hasn’t been seen in decades. Many of the southern states have been hit by dangerous ice storms that have snarled traffic for miles and caused people to abandon their cars. The Mid-Atlantic states and the Northeast have been pummeled by winter storms, with Hurricane Katrina still fresh in the minds of millions who lost power from that event.
This week is National Severe Weather Preparedness Week, and it couldn’t have come too soon. According to this government website (http://www.nws.noaa.gov/com/weatherreadynation/severe.html#.UxStQvRdU6I), there were seven weather and climate disaster events across the U.S. in 2013 with losses exceeding $1 billion each. The National Weather Service and FEMA are taking advantage of the attention this subject is receiving this week by trying to build a “Weather-Ready Nation.”
Allen Baler, whose Reboot Marketing company provides a variety of products geared toward helping people prepare for an uncertain future, says that weather is just one of the factors that can cause people to go into emergency mode.
“Every year the weather seems to get crazier and negatively affects more Americans,” said Baler, whose Nashville, Tenn.-based company soared from $769,042 in revenue in 2009 to $11.8 million in 2012 to claim the No. 304 spot on the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing U.S. companies.
“Extreme weather is the single biggest contributor to people suddenly finding themselves without food, clean drinking water and shelter, but we’ve also seen a shaky economy, government intrusions on personal liberties and the fear of terrorist attacks make people think about what else they could be doing to be prepared.
“The key is to be prepared for any situation in which the basic necessities of life are suddenly not available, such as food and water. These situations keep happening, but a lot of people think it will never happen to them…until it does.”
