Emergency and Survival Preparedness
This blog addresses various issues regarding personal and family preparedness. Specifically, we discuss issues of:
- Home emergency preparedness and planning
- Child safety
- Personal safety and survival
- Outdoor safety and survival
- Food storage
This blog is born out of personal experience with various emergency situations; and, awareness of the need for better emergency planning for home emergencies and natural disasters.
The real danger is to be apathetic, thinking “it will never happen to me.” But, it can and it will at some time in your life, whether it be during a personal crisis (extended joblessness), earthquake, tornado, hurricane, flooding, child drowning, mugging attempt, or a host of other situations.
One example for you, my son and I were at a park playing when we heard a scream nearby. A mother was holding her baby who was limp in her arms. Fortunately, I had received child/infant CPR training and was able to revive the child.
In an emergency, do you know what to do? Do you have the necessary items and supplies on hand to assure you and your family will be “relatively” comfortable for up to 72-hours? Is your home child proof?
The goal of this blog is to help all of us become a little more prepared for those inevitable emergencies. Please send us a reply if you would like a checklist of over 50 items you need to have in your 72-hour emergency kit. Please indicate whether you would like the checklist emailed or faxed to you. Make sure you provide your contact information to receive the checklist.
We have also partnered with the following companies that will help you become more prepared today.
