Shortly after Hurricane Katrina struck the Louisiana coast, reports out of New Orleans on September 1st stated that victims of the disaster were being raped and beaten and that fights and fires were out of control, leaving corpses laying in the open as the city descended into anarchy. Emergency responders in the New Orleans area were overwhelmed, and as a result their response time was lapsed.
颶風“卡特里娜”襲擊路易斯安那州海岸後不久，9月1日出自新奧爾良的報告表示，災民被強姦和毆打，而打架和火災失控，留下的屍體公開擺放，因為城市陷入無政府狀態。在新奧爾良地區的應急響應被壓倒，並因此他們的反應時間已過。
A “bug in” scenario may be our only choice after a disaster strikes and we must prepare not only for our basic needs, but also for our safety. Since the grid may go down during a disaster, each household should prepare for crime. Looting and home invasions will more than likely be at the forefront of these crime waves and a defensible home will help your family stay safe.
在一場災​​難襲擊後，事態中的一個“錯誤”可能是我們唯一的選擇，和我們必須不祇為我們的基本需要做好準備，亦要為我們的安全。因為電網可能災害期間失靈，每一個家庭都應為罪案作準備。搶劫和入侵家園將很有可能在這些罪案浪潮的最前線，和一個能防衛的家庭會幫助你的家人保持安全。
Many of us easily relate to the idea that our home security needs to be beefed up. In fact, some of the homes we live in are defensive nightmares given the location, structural design, neighborhood or city we may live in. Because the home will be more vulnerable when the grid goes down (due to electrical alarm systems not working, lapsed emergency response time, etc), consider having some alternative security features for inside the home. A barking dog would be a great detection system for anyone trying to break in. And, if the pet is trained properly, could assist in protecting the family.

In an emergency where civil unrest can be a problematic issue, criminals look for accessible targets. They will concentrate on vulnerable “easy-pickings” and bypass the more secured areas. This was seen during the Rodney King Trial Verdict riots in Los Angeles and it’s suburbs, the only structures that were spared from active looting by large gangs were some stores owned by armed Korean Americans.

Security is an important preparedness measure to keep in mind when investing in your emergency supplies. Bulking up your home security features for the outside can be your first line of defense in preventing any criminals from trying to enter your home.
當投資你的緊急救援物資時，安全是一項要記住的重要防備措施。為外面的而擴大你家的安全功能，可能是你的第一道防線，以防止任何犯罪分子試圖進入你的家。
Given that our financial situations are each unique, I am not suggesting that you go out and purchase every item on this list. However, if you are able to invest in some security items for the home, I suggest you invest in as much as you can.
鑑於我們每一個人的財務狀況都是獨特，我並不建議你出去購買此列表中的每一個項目。不過，如果你能為家居投資一些安全物件，我建議你盡可能投資你可負担的。

準備要買的：
Preps To Buy:
•Reinforced doors and locks. (There is only 1 ” of wood protecting you in normal door locks.)
•加鞏門鎖。 （正常的門鎖下只有1吋木材能保護你“。）
•Barred windows or European-style security/storm shutters.
•加栓窗户或歐洲式的安全/風暴百葉窗。
•Place thorny bushes or plants around windows or near vulnerable areas of the home.
•放置荊棘的灌木或植物在窗口周圍或家居脆弱地區的附近。
•If possible, create a barrier from approaching vehicles.
•如果可能的話，創建一道障礙給駛近的車輛。
•Put a peep hole in the door.
•做一個窺視孔在門上。
•Add a bolt and chain to the door.
•加一道螺栓和防盜鏈在門上。
•Infrared (IR) floodlights to illuminate the property (These can be motion-sensor activated).
•紅外（IR）泛光燈照亮財產（這可以是激活運動傳感器）。
•Solar garden lighting can also be an inexpensive way to illuminate areas outside the home.
•太陽能花園照明亦可以是一種不昂貴的方式去照亮家居以外的地區。
•Fence the entire property, if it is not done so already.
•全部財產加上圍欄，如果仍沒這樣做。
•A gate at the front of the driveway that has spikes at the top to prevent someone from jumping over the fence.
•車道前面一道閘，在頂部有尖刺以防止有人跳躍翻過圍欄。
•Cameras placed strategically around the home and near the entry points of the home can also deflect an intruder.
•戰略性地在家居周圍和家居入口點附近放置相機，亦可以轉移入侵者。
•Create a safe room or vault to where a family can go to evade their attackers.
•創建一個安全房間或庫房，整家人可以進去逃避攻擊者。
•Buy a gun and know how to use it.
•買一枝槍並知道如何使用它。

行動項目：
Action Items:
1.Walk around the perimeter of your home and see where the vulnerable areas are.
2.Make necessary changes to the outside of the home by bulking up on security layers.
3.Contact a security expert or friend in the police department and see if they can provide you with additional advice.
4.If it is a good fit with your family, look into purchasing a firearm or going to a concealed handgun course.
5.Create a neighborhood watch program.
