Preparedness was the subject of the day during a recent fun run in Pebble Beach, Calif. 4Patriots specializes in products designed to help people prepare for an uncertain future.

Nashville, Tenn., United States / ACCESSWIRE / October 25th, 2014 / Residents and city workers in Pebble Beach, Calif., dressed up as zombies recently and participated in a fun run that brought attention to the importance of being prepared for natural disasters, according to KSBW-TV.

Preparedness is top of mind for area residents due to the ongoing drought that’s raising fire concerns, plus a new study showing the likelihood of a major earthquake in northern California. Participants were encouraged to create an emergency kit with three days’ worth of food and water for every family member.

Nashville, Tenn.-based 4Patriots, LLC, which provides a variety of products that help people become more self-reliant and independent, commends the Pebble Beach community for making preparedness a priority. Because anyone could suddenly find himself in a crisis that would involve being unable to access food, water and power, being prepared is the only solution.

“Emergency situations continue to occur all over the country, but too many people don’t think it will happen to them,” said 4Patriots Partner Allen Baler, whose company launched in 2008 as Reboot Marketing and was named to the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing companies in America in 2013. “But when it does, only those who are prepared are going to be able to avoid heading to FEMA centers.

“Despite the many weather disasters, clean water shortages and cyber attacks on our electrical grid recently, many Americans are still not prepared to handle a situation in which food and water are not readily available.
