Yesterday I met a woman that survived the Katrina Floods of New Orleans, she told me a heart wrenching tale of surviving during and after the storm. It made me think about Emergency Preparedness. As the saying goes ‘one can never be too prepared’ and in this age of many a natural disaster a saying can never ring truer.
Today it is easy to prepare for emergencies with the many choices of Emergency Kits that have been developed for these very types of emergencies. And it’s no wonder, having an emergency kit on hand makes one less thing to worry about. When disaster strikes there are too many other things to think about and if you are prepared with a food supply on hand, bandages, water supply, you will have the confidence to pull you through. There are many options out there with long lasting,dehydrated food supplies, kits in backpacks available just for these situations. So the work has already been done for you. All you need to do is find a place to store your emergency supplies
And who knows, maybe you will be fortunate enough to never experience a natural disaster, like the woman that survived Katrina did, but if you do you will have the peace of mind knowing that you will be prepared for an emergency with everything you and your family may need to make it through.
Emergency Preparedness is one of the keys to surviving one of the many natural disasters of today and it couldn’t be any easier today than to do as the Boy Scouts profess-‘Be Prepared’
