Can anyone forget the sound of Gloria Gaynor belting out I Will Survive? That song - no matter what you think of it - is guaranteed to get people off their chairs and onto the dance floor. But how would we really survive in case of disaster?

I thought about this the other day as I was reading about a couple's experience of a hurricane in the Caribbean. Like everywhere where disasters happen from time to time there is a list of things that you should have just in case, like candles, tinned food and matches.

But an easier way is to get survival kits, which include a power source, something to shelter under, vacuum packed food and much more. After all, why take chances? It seems a sensible way to prepare for any disaster.
