In this first installment of Pop Culture Preparedness, we look at the  first episode of AMC's The Walking Dead. Throughout this episode, as  with many works of fiction, we see good and bad examples of the  application of principles of preparedness and empowerment. We'll discuss  the practice of "Zombie Preparedness" education, drills, etc. as well  as what the characters in the show did well, or could have done better  as they face the beginning of a new world filled with Zombies.

Preparedness and education are two of the five pillars of the Life, Liberty, And Pursuit Of Happiness Project because you should not only be empowered, educated, and able to build your best life, but also have the knowledge and tools you need to protect the life you build when emergencies or disasters happen so you can thrive.

What is the Paradox of Preparedness? You know you should be better prepared, or should start preparing in case something happens, cos, let's be real, emergencies and disasters happen. Statistically they may have low odds of happening in the next year or the next decade, but they will happen. Because there's no firm date, no deadline, however, far too many of us procrastinate becoming better prepared. It just doesn't seem important enough to be the priority it should be.

That is the Paradox of Preparedness. In this episode we'll talk about this paradox of human behavior, and how to overcome it.

New studies and understanding paint a new picture of what we can expect from a tsunami after an earthquake. For the worst tsunamis, the wave height may actually be double what was previously predicted. This would have a massive impact on what a tsunami might look like and do, and how coastal areas should prepare for them.  

Focus is especially given to the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the coast of the Pacific Northwest because that's what I'm most familiar with and  it was also what was discussed in the relevant writings.

Since we are at the beginning of the 2022 Hurricane Season, Garrett takes a few minutes to discuss hurricane safety. Specifically, he shares 10 Things Not To Do, 4 Effects Of Pollution On Our Hurricane Season (based on a study recently published in the journal "Science Advances"), and 10 To Do Hurricane Safety Tips.

If you live in an area where a hurricane, also known as a typhoon or a tropical cyclone, might strike, it's important that you know how to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your home. Not only should you know what to do, but what not to do. 

Preparedness is one of the pillars of the Life, Liberty, And Pursuit Of Happiness Project because you should not only be empowered and able to build your best life, but also to protect the life you build when emergencies or disasters happen so you can thrive.

A summary and discussion of the study on pollution's effects on hurricanes can be found at: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/declines-in-air-pollution-have-made-hurricanes-stronger/

Based on Patti Dobrowolski's TEDx Rainier Talk in 2012, this episode features Garrett of the Life, Liberty, And Pursuit Of Happiness Project  completing a new drawing for his future plans for himself, including a little bit for the Life, Liberty, And Pursuit Of Happiness Project.  

This empowering method of visualisation and loose goal setting helps leverage the power of visual images, work you've done yourself, and  neuroscience to support you in making changes in your life to move from your uncomfortable present to your desired new reality.  

If you haven't seen or listened to Part 1 first where Garrett reviews the drawing he did a few years ago, it may benefit you to watch that first and then come back to this one.
