Emergency Planning, Plan to Begin
When was the last time you reviewed your home emergency plan? Never? Most people have never prepared an emergency plan. So, what is emergency planning and how do you go about planning for those inevitable emergencies that plague all of us at some time in our lives?
Let’s start with the basics. We have divided emergency planning into six categories all of us should be prepared for, personally and as a family. These categories include:
1. Home emergencies
2. Financial emergencies
3. Disaster planning
4. Personal survival
5. Outdoor emergencies and survival
6. Child safety
This list may seem overwhelming to some of you. But, if you develop a plan, one-at-a-time for each category, the task becomes much easier. Learn as much as you can about what is needed for a thorough plan for each category, beginning with the category that you feel you are most lacking in and critical to your situation; then, once that plan is laid out, turn your attention to another category until you have completed and initiated plans for each category that applies to you.
The greatest benefit of being prepared for emergencies is the freedom from fear or anxiety of what might happen to you or our family if you are not prepared.
Information on each of these categories will follow in future blog posts to help you and your family be more prepared for emergencies.
