While most people are hoping for a peaceful and pleasant Fourth of July
weekend, it's not guaranteed this year. The United States has been
ripped apart with racial unrest, a deadly pandemic, and peaceful
protests that have been hijacked and turned into riots.

It wouldn't be surprising if things came to a head this weekend.

According to AlertsUSA, the Department of Homeland Security has issued
the following advisory:

1. Lawful protests related to law enforcement actions and perceived
government overreach are likely to persist through Independence Day and
have the potential to become flashpoints for violence during upcoming
celebratory events.

2. Heightened domestic tensions and the symbolism of the holiday for
some ideologically-motivated extremists could mobilize a range of actors
to conduct attacks with little-to-no warning.

3. Increased security around federal, state, and local buildings and
monuments in preparation for holiday events also could lead to violent
opportunist clashes with law enforcement.

As well, the NYPD is planning to go on strike on the fourth to "give the
city its independence," and a group claiming to be sponsored by Antifa
has planned a flag-burning to take place at Gettysburg National Cemetery
which is sure to incite anger.

It's extremely likely that many Americans will see an Independence Day
like nothing we've ever experienced.

As preppers are fond of saying, let's hope for the best, but prepare for
the worst. Below, find a list of resources to help you get prepared for
the potential of civil unrest and riots. Please don't scoff and think
that it can't happen near you. Even small towns have experienced
protests recently and it would be awful to be taken by surprise if a
protest turned into a riot.

If you're going to any events

The safest event is one held in the backyard at your place or the home
of family members or friends. Small, close-knit groups are far less
likely to see problems during their get-together.

At the same time, lots of folks are of the mind that they aren't going
to let protesters stop them from celebrating our nation. If you're going
to attend any events, please keep the following guidelines in mind.

* Stick to the outside of the crowd so that you can get away quickly and
easily, as opposed to being trapped in the middle of the crowd.

* Keep children within arm's reach.

* Know where the exits are - always have a plan B for getting away from
the situation if plan A isn't safe.

* If you have older kids who aren't going to stay within reach of Mom
and Dad, organize a meeting point to get to if things become dangerous.
It can be hard to find one another in a crowd.

* Park further away and walk to the event as opposed to being stuck in
traffic when you're trying to leave.

* Find a place with a good view of the fireworks that isn't necessarily
right in the middle of the crowd. We always go to a hilltop parking lot
far from where the fireworks are taking place.

Pay attention to baseline. Baseline is the general atmosphere of a
place. If everyone is calm and singing, and then suddenly you begin to
hear a lot of shouting, that's a shift in baseline. If the mood goes
from celebratory to angry, that's also a shift in baseline. When
baseline changes, that is your early warning to leave immediately. Trust
your instincts and don't talk yourself out of taking action.
