My blogs to you have meant to help you make headway in preparing for emergencies/disasters. There is much I think I can teach you as this is what I do for a living. But there is much you can do for yourself and I want to highlight a step you can take for yourself. Most are free and will make you look like the most prepared person in your office.
There's an App for that This is a one page from the Department of Health and Human Services. There are apps for your I phone/I pad. Most are free, some cost a few cents. Imagine having all of your medication on your I- phone using My Medications from the AMA - if you have to evacuate you have it.
One of my favorites is Disaster Alert - every morning I check it to see whats going on in the world. Imagine sitting around at work and just casually mentioning "did anyone hear about the earthquake off Vanuatore.
In this age of I phones and other phones that act as a computer, there are things you can do to make yourself more prepared. Do it this weekend.

Take Time to Learn
My blogs have been written to help you make headway in preparing for emergencies/ disasters. There is much I think I can teach you as this is what I do for a living. But there is much you can do for yourself and I want to highlight two steps you can take. Both are free and will not only make you more prepared and look like the most prepared person in your office.
There's an App for that This is a one page from the Department of Health and Human Services. It puts a lot of apps in one place; most are free, a few cost a few cents. But imagine having all of your medication on your Iphone - if you have to evacuate, you have it. One of my favorites is Disaster Alert - every morning I check it to see whats going on in the world. Imagine sitting around at work and just casually mentioning "did anyone hear about the earthquake off Vanuatu this morning."
MetEd Like anything else in your life you will do a better job if you are informed. So take some time on this FREE website and learn about the disasters that affect you and your family. Learn how & why fire travels the way it does/ how and where Tsunamis affect us and many other very well put together training.
By taking action on these two items in the next week you will be more likely to prepare if you understand why you won't be able to live in your home after a major quake, or why the police tell you to leave during a forest fire.
Take some time, take some responsibility...you might enjoy the training.
