Situational awareness is very
important, not just for personal security but as a
fundamental building block in your security plan and the security
of your Prepper Group.
Because of this importance, we have stressed the
importance of
situational awareness for Preppers many times in the past.
It is important to note that situational awareness --
being aware of one's surroundings and identifying potential threats and
dangerous situations -- is more of a mindset than it is paranoia,
although one could argue that an ounce of paranoia will help you develop
a keen sense of situational awareness. Because of this, situational
awareness is not something that can be practiced only by highly trained
government agents or specialized corporate security teams. Indeed, it
can be exercised by anyone with the will and the discipline to do so.
Situational awareness is not only important for recognizing day-to-day
threats, but it also serves to identify other dangerous situations after
TEOTWAWKI.
