Three million Americans, often ridiculed by family,
friends and mainstream media for their paranoia, aren’t the only ones preparing
for the potentiality of catastrophe resulting from natural or man-made causes. Recent legislation in Wyoming would open the door to studies into the possibility
of far-from-equilibrium situations and SHTF preparedness plans that include
alternate currencies in the event of a dollar collapse, redundant food
distribution networks, preserving utility infrastructures, as well as raising
and maintaining a well regulated militia if the
situation calls for it.
House Bill 85 passed on first reading by a voice
vote. It would create a state-run government continuity task force, which
would study and prepare Wyoming for potential catastrophes, from
disruptions in food and energy supplies to a complete meltdown of the federal
government.
The task force would look at the feasibility of
Wyoming issuing its own alternative currency, if needed. And House members approved an amendment Friday by
state Rep. Kermit Brown, R-Laramie, to have the task force also examine
conditions under which Wyoming would need to implement its own military
draft, raise a standing army, and acquire strike aircraft and an aircraft
carrier.
The bill’s sponsor, state Rep. David Miller,
R-Riverton, has said he doesn’t anticipate any major crises hitting
America anytime soon. But with the national debt exceeding $15 trillion and
protest movements growing around the country, Miller said Wyoming —
which has a comparatively good economy and sound state finances — needs
to make sure it’s protected should any unexpected emergency hit the
U.S.
Several House members spoke in favor of the
legislation, saying there was no harm in preparing for the worst.

Those looking to prepare on a personal level for
doomsday related events in an effort to avoid a Hurricane Katrina-like
incident should take a page from the Wyoming legislators and consider
individual SHTFplans along the same lines:
