Emergency Preparedness

This week will be the beginning of my commitment to do something so simple, it is almost very silly to talk/blog about. I am going to prepare for an Emergency!

Not that it is exciting but I love my family so much, I don't ever want them to look into my eyes with fear or wondering any more than they will about drinking or eating.  Sounds like third world fears but actually it is very close to home.  My brother town was hit by a tornado and had no electricity for 5 days, I believe. The stories he told me were almost out of a movie. I hung up with him when the tornadoes where in his area, and he said he was safe.  But he wasn't, after we hung up, it was all around him. His home was spared, Praise God! But not for many others.  He had no electricity...etc.   After I learned this, It really hit me, how I should be more prepared.  I lived up North and also have snow days that would stop life in its track.  

My goal is to follow the blog SixSistersstuff.com  http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/07/build-your-72-hour-kit-in-52-weeks.html on 3 day emergency preparedness...which is so simple. Alrighty so here goes...Week One is getting the duffle bags or back packs and put them in a place to grab if you need to leave your home. 

Note: The Red Cross has more details as well.
Step One: Complete 4 back packs in place!  That was easy!
