If you are one of those people who believes that prepping is for doomsday prophets and survivalist wackos or you’ve simply not begun practicing preparedness because you think a disaster won’t happen to you, you might want to readjust your attitude after reading the results of a recent study conducted by the real estate research company RealtyTrac.
The report, which was released on August 28, found that a whopping 43 percent of American homes are at “high risk or very high risk” of being struck by a natural disaster.
That’s right – nearly half (roughly 35.8 million) of all American homes and condos are likely to be hit by at least one type of natural disaster. The figures are based on an examination of 2,318 counties throughout the nation that were subsequently assigned a natural disaster risk score between 0 and 300.
The scores were assessed according to the likelihood of being damaged or destroyed by wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods or earthquakes.
