With reality television shows like "Doomsday Preppers" sweeping the nation, it is clear that a broad contingent of Americans see merit in embracing the benefits of emergency preparedness. Whether it be learning how to grow or preserve your own food, or investing in precious metals and other resources needed to prevail in the event disaster strikes, the ways in which one can prepare him or herself are many.
To discuss the ins and outs of emergency preparedness, Glenn Beck brought on special guests Mark Hyland, CEO of Food Insurance, Tim Howard, President of USA Emergency Broadcasting Network, Barbara Salsbury, author of "Preparedness Principles," and Major Steve Sheridan, an Iraq War combat veteran and author of "Waging War on Debt" to cover topics ranging from food conservation to protecting your finances in the event of an emergency.
With extreme events happening around the world and the ever-present threat of terrorist attacks, Beck said "we are more vulnerable now than ever before."
