Preparing for Nature's Tantrums

Join Torsten Jacobsen, M.D. for an eye-opening look at the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters—earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, and more. Exploring past events like the 1964 earthquake in Anchorage, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and the 2011 Japan tsunami, Dr. Jacobsen highlights the urgency of preparing for nature’s unpredictable forces. The recent catastrophic flood of the Guadalupe River in Texas–and the devastating wildfires which raged across Los Angeles–underscore how suddenly disaster can strike, bringing this message closer to home than ever. Discover practical steps to ensure you're 100% self-sufficient in the immediate aftermath, covering everything from food and water to medical care and financial preparedness. Don’t miss this essential discussion on how to safeguard yourself and your loved ones when the next “tantrum” strikes.
