What will YOU do when disaster strikes?

Synopsis:What will you do when disaster strikes? Spike TV’s new original series Surviving Disaster, led by Navy SEAL Cade Courtley, vividly takes viewers through catastrophic scenarios and arms them with the knowledge needed to survive the unthinkable.

Unthinkable? Well, if you’re like me and you witness a tragic news story, you may ask yourself what they could have done in that situation to survive or *if* they did have a chance for survival- and the ultimate “What would I have done?”

This hour long show on SpikeTV takes you into the chilling and heart stopping worst case scenario and shows you how to live through it. For some of us, we have ‘special circumstances’ which forces me to look at how to incorporate it into the survival tactics. For example: Each disaster I’d be in, I have to accommodate my sons 300+ lb wheelchair or carrying him at 80lbs dead weight.

The episode I watched tonight was about home invasion. Chances of one happening to you- well, it’s 1 in 4. I’ve had someone break in and rob/ransack my current residence thankfully when no one was home and in the same week I had a friends wife come home to an intruder standing in the hallway (thankfully she got away). Very real, very scary.

This show, even if you never find yourself in these situations (and I’ve found myself in one or two already) help you should the situation arise. Is it safe for the whole family to watch? Well… is it safe for them NOT to watch? It’s scary, a little graphic, but viewing can save your life or the life of someone you love, like, or are indifferent to.

Granted it’s no “How I Met Your Mother” or “Eureka”, but it’s definitely worth watching, paying attention to and filing away in the back of your head.

Okay world… BRING IT ON! (I have it in my head that if you’re prepared then the bad won’t happen- although I probably just jinxed myself by writing that)
