The 21st Century has been a time of unparalleled disasters around the world. Tsunamis, floods and earthquakes of seemingly near-biblical proportions have struck worldwide, while the United States has been hammered by hurricanes, seen flooding take lives and been attacked by terrorists who continue to threaten our national security to this day. Since the attacks of 9/11, our elected leadership has repeatedly issued warnings for all Americans to prepare -- yet most have not. Having seen the government's failures after Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, who would you rather depend on to provide for your family's needs after a disaster?
