<p>For years we have tried to highlight the importance of preparedness, we have also warned that sometimes the most dangerous parts of a natural disaster are the threats that come in the aftermath of the disaster.</p>
<p>If you haven’t started prepping for the possibility of your own localized disaster, you really need to read our article on <a href="https://offgridsurvival.com/aftermathprepping/">what to expect after the storm hits</a> and see how it parallels what’s happening now in Texas.</p>
<h2>Hurricane Harvey Aftermath: A lesson in Post-Disaster Threats and the Importance of Preparedness</h2>

<p>Hurricane Harvey is a text book example of why people need to take preparedness seriously; not only was the initial storm a deadly nightmare, but the aftermath is proving to be even more dangerous.</p>
<h3>Localized Threats: Chemicals plants, Infections, Violence and Disease</h3>
<p>One of the things that we’ve warned about for years was preparing for the localized dangers that are specific to your environment. In Texas, residents are now dealing with a host of problems created by the Hurricane, problems that could plague the area for months to come.</p>
<p><strong>Prepare for Disease Outbreaks</strong></p>

<blockquote><p>“As rains diminish and flood waters slowly recede around Houston and other cities hit by Harvey, health problems are moving in the other direction, with the worst yet to come.”  “West Nile Virus and Zika Virus are likely to be big players in the area as mosquito larvae hatch, and mosquitoes breed and bite as we get into September. In fact, after Katrina, cases of West Nile more than doubled within one month’s time.”<br />

<blockquote><p>A series of small explosions shook a chemical plant northeast of Houston on Thursday, and more blasts were expected after floodwaters shut down the cooling systems that kept the chemicals stable.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/31/us/harvey-houston-texas-flood.html?mcubz=3"><br />
Via New York Times</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The explosions at the Arkema chemical plant in Crosby sent plumes of toxic smoke into the sky Thursday morning. &#8220;We want residents to be aware that product is stored in multiple locations on the site, and a threat of additional explosion remains,&#8221; <a href="http://www.arkema-americas.com/en/media/news-overview/news/Explosions-and-Smoke-Reported-at-Arkema-Inc.-Crosby-Plant/">Arkema said</a>. &#8220;Please do not return to the area within the evacuation zone until local emergency response authorities announce it is safe to do so.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>You will lose water, and you will lose power.</strong></p>
<p>Throughout the area, hundreds of thousands are without power and water. In Beaumont, 118,000 are now without running water after flooding caused both of the city’s water pumps to fail.</p>

					<p>The grocery carts have a baby seat.  Take a few disinfectant wipes and clean the baby seat and the handle of the push cart.  When you shop be sure to get Clorox wipes or Lysol wipes, and keep yourself and your possessions clean, orderly, and sanitized.  Wash produce with a lemon based food safe cleaner designed to keep produce safe from germs and parasites.  If pork is not fully cooked, don&#8217;t eat it.  If you drink clean fresh water, you can go without food for a week or more.  Eat at least once a day, if you can.  But don&#8217;t eat chemicle laden junk food.  It is better to miss a meal than to stuff yourself with garbage.  If after a few days that is all that&#8217;s available, eat it I guess; and hope it doesn&#8217;t kill you.  What else can you do?  Prepare next time.</p>
