I have been encouraging family members to be ready. Put up a little extra food, consider how they will protect what is theirs should things get really bad, to watch the news, be informed, and just basically be ready for whatever comes. My parents are beginning to take positive steps, and my sister always just tuned it out until last weekend when she said, "Here we go again...." She is in denial that things could get bad.
I know similar things have been discussed before, but how will you (HONESTLY) deal with those close to you, who you have tried to reach, but have been close minded when it comes to planning for the worst while hoping for the best? After reading One Second After, it really makes a person think about how long your meager supplies might last, and how excess charity (to those who were warned, but did nothing) could cost the life of you and your family.
It would be very hard to turn them away, or to have to encourage them to be on their way by force, but how/where will you draw that line? What more could you do to help them to see the light that things are likely to get worse before they get better?
