What purpose does it serve to watch these people at this point? We are just harming our mental health by reading into accounts that may or may not be happening. We should all know what is going to happen. We should all be prepared to shelter in place if necessary for at least two weeks. We should all be expecting an emergency broadcast. At this point, I'm just watching and waiting.

Mods, if you want to sticky, I can reply to all incoming requests for preparedness as they come in, time allowing.

You can prepare for a few weeks easily, you don't have to go crazy.

Water:

• If you will be on the move, "Bugging Out", you might have time to get lifestraws lifestraw.com -You may still have time to order a water bob. Great if you have an extra bathtub and are not in control of your water situation(as opposed to those with a private well), otherwise just fill your tub without and boil the water if you are concerned -https://waterbob.com/
• You can sanitize questionable water with bleach, https://biotech.law.lsu.edu/cphl/Practice/water.htm
• Remember, you will need quite a bit of water for drinking, cleaning, batheing
• Get some paper cups and papers, cuts down on water use cleaning dishes
• Do all your laundry ASAP so you have a full closet of clean clothes

Food

• Don't go crazy on LTS(long term storage food), if you aren't eating it now, don't go get it. You can start looking into it, but not necessary. Too expensive per calorie at this point.
• Double and Triple up on the canned goods you already buy on a regular basis, adding canned meats to replace fresh/frozen meats.
• If you can, get a small generator to run your fridge or freezer. Worst case scenario, the outside temps in many places are good for freezing or cooling food. Hurricane hit folks get the need for this
• Buy larger bags of rice from costco if you can, filling and keeps well

Meds

• Vitamins, bandaids, stock up what you use on a daily basis, toothpaste, new tooth brushes, pain killers, contact your doctor to see if you can get a month ahead on Rx meds(important!)

Electronics

• LED lights and batteries are a must, candles can't hurt either, you can cook a can of beans with a candle
• Consider getting an emergency radio with crank recharging.
• Get those cell phone batteries and charge them up, have them at the ready

Heating

• Kerosene heater if you don't have a fireplace
• If you have a fireplace you don't use, get some wood and clean out the fireplace, you might need it, hopefully not

Please ask questions here, I've been a prepper since 2008, I'm sure there are more here.

I suggest survivalblog.com for much more in depth info.

Prepper terms you might come across in your reading:

• BOB is a Bug out bag, basically, if you think your current location is dangerous, it is a bag packed with the things you would need to grab and go. If this is ready ahead of time, you get on the road before everyone else even thinks to flee
• BOL bug out location, a planned place to flee to
• LTS long term strorage, mostly for food

Realized I don't remember where I viewed it...

So I was debating with my dad this morning, and maybe I'm a bit confused about why the Georgia legislature couldn't call their own special session to address election fraud. Dad says they could and they were just blaming Kemp to cover their own asses. Why wasn't a special session called? Were they not allowed if Kemp didn't call for it? Will new state congresses come into session and retroactively be able to address election fraud?
