A lot of people say that emergency preparedness is not the most important item on their radar for the new year. They couldn't be more WRONG!
This is the time of year that you need to prepare your family for any and all types of natural and man-made disasters.
So what can you do?
Visit http://www.usprepared.com and get your FR** Emergency Preparedness Guide and make sure to sit down with the family and read through it. After you have read through it then begin to take ACTION now!
Make sure that you have at least a week but preferably more of the items suggested on hand for every member of the family. And remember your pets are important for emergency preparedness!
Start by buying one or two emergency supply items a week while you do your normal grocery and department store shopping. This will allow you to accumulate what you need without having to spend a lot all at once.
We are strongly encouraging every family to purchase one particular item this year - a family tent!
Why a family tent? Family tents usually have two or three room allowing for privacy.
Remember those poor souls that had driven away from Hurricane Katrina and Rita only to find the motels already booked to capacity and the stuffy concrete floors of the shelters packed like sardines?
Would it not be a heck of a lot more comfortable to find a state park or national park where you could set up your family tent without the added stress of hundreds of people crammed together?
During Katrina state parks in Arkansas were utilized. That is a step in the right direction. Most state parks have bathrooms, showers and even electric outlets.
So tell your friends about preparedness and why it's to better utilize our state and national parks for emergencies and go get prepared NOW!
