In the last few decades several major disasters have struck. Some, like hurricanes, are predictable, giving people sufficient time to acquire the appropriate supplies and secure or evacuate their homes. Hearing about such disasters many of us might imagine what it might be like to experience them. We wonder about how we might act, or fail to act, how we might respond both physically and emotionally. Whether we will be a hero or a victim. Experts believe that if you are worried about how you might hold up in the event of a disaster there may be a number of things you can do to better prepare yourself psychologically.
