After completing an honest risk assessment, attitudes often change. There are mental exercises that help with this process. Preparation is a natural result of attitude change.
- Accept the possibility that disasters can and do occur on a regular basis.
- Worry can be a constructive tool. Role-play various disasters and plan what actions should be taken.
- Read real or fictional accounts of survival experiences
- Exercise a hope for the future. Spiritual anchors provide the will to survive.
A great deal of time and money is put into preparations for natural and man-made disaster. These preparations will be lost if the plan is not worked and the equipment maintained.
