CHAPTER 9 - DISASTERS CAUSED BY HUMAN HANDS

Man-made disasters that necessitate emergency food storage preparations can include acts of terrorism, economic collapse, nuclear meltdowns (intentional or not), World War III, satellite malfunctioning disabling communication systems, and problems with foreign oil supplies, just to name a few possible disaster sources. 

Some of these disasters carry consequences that are further reaching then others.  The September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York is the worst loss of life in one day on American soil that we have ever experienced as a nation. 

But even though Sept. 11 caused some major changes in the ways we travel or gather for various events, the immediate and most severe destruction was mainly against the actual targeted areas and the rest of the nation experienced little suffering in comparison. 

Generally, New Yorkers could find the supplies and groceries needed to sustain life not too far away after 9/11 and the rest of us were able to render aid to those who directly suffered from the terrorism attack because we had not experienced the life disruptions ourselves. 

In situations where we might all be suffering severe hardships nationwide  it will be a little harder to survive and overcome because everyone will be in the same desperate circumstances with very little “milk of human kindness” left to share with others.
