How To Survive Civil Unrest During Uncertain Times

If you think that civil unrest is something that doesn’t happen really all that often, then you have not been taking note of the current pandemic climate. Civil unrest has actually ended up being more common place than ever before. It’s what happens when people get so mad they decide that they’re going to protest or riot or hold demonstrations.

During times of civil unrest, chaos always follows, regardless of how peaceful a demonstration initially started. Anarchy raises its head and the norms of society break down, and it ends up being every man for himself.

The initial intent of the demonstration is buried underneath the herd mentality that takes control when substantial groups of people become furious. Authority is toppled and the swell of those decimating societal standards is typically way too much for local authorities to deal with.

What Should You Do To Keep Safe During Civil Unrest?

You can’t control how people are going to act. However you don’t need to be in a position where their behavior negatively affects your everyday living. When there is civil unrest, be prepared to bug out (or make it home securely) in a hurry.

Have a predetermined escape plan on how you and your loved ones can escape the turmoil. In the middle of all the mayhem, individuals can and do get injured or slaughtered, so put some space between you and the brewing scenario swiftly, if you can do that.

Ensure you take planned directions through town or your city that can’t be obstructed by swarms of people. When lots of people swarm, injuries will occur. Don’t let yourself end up being unprotected. In civil unrest, individuals will typically also seek to burn buildings.

Don’t get stuck in a building that can be targeted. If you are in a reasonably safe place and can’t leave, make certain you strengthen the place where you’re at. Those who are creating unrest are searching for targets.

When A Group Of Angry People Gather Near My Building, What Will They Want To Do?

Due to their uncontrolled rage, they want to loot and attack. The first step you must take is to ward off approaching attacks by making your location a deterrent. Do not have any easy access points. Have a supply of food and other needs on hand before the fallout from civil unrest reaches your area.

You need to ensure you have a survival bag for each member of your household. Have all needed medications, child provisions and important documents prepared in your car or readily available if you need to leave in a hurry.

When there is chaos such as this, stores are looted and products are taken. The top 3 products that are looted during civil unrest are alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. These items always get taken first.

Always Remember: Stay Vigilant!

Following that, baby items are taken, then food. When the food is cleaned out, that’s when the people connected to civil unrest start to victimize other human beings. You’ll want to make sure that you have a way to safeguard yourself. When there is civil unrest, the authorities frequently can’t get to specific areas to help victims, so make certain you take measures to prevent becoming one yourself.
