well the war in iran seems inevitable and trump will probably strike after the markets close on friday. so what can i do to best prepare me and family for this? i already have around two weeks of canned food stocked up but besides that i have no other emergency supplies. if there are any protocols or useful handbooks i would appreciate it if you shared them. if you have experience in this type of situation i would be glad to hear from you as well.

that’s it i suppose. wish you all the very best.

EDIT: removed the terrible joke because it’s sort of a serious post. also thanks for all the answers in advance sorry if i can’t reply to all of them

    I’m sorry you’re in this position, friend. I don’t see this mentioned already, but emergency plans with loved ones are a good idea. How would you contact each other during a communication blackout? Are you going to meet up somewhere if shit starts to go down? Communication can help avoid everybody scrambling and trying to find each other at the same time in an emergency. I think Briar is a Bluetooth communication app, but I’ve never used it.

    As always, death to Amerika.

      thanks for the advice. i have also heard of briar as well, but bluetooth is really short range. if someone is in your bluetooth range you can just talk to them with your mouth. maybe it creates a network of devices but even then i’ll doubt it can work on a distance bigger than a block.
