Are You Prepared?

The election is over, things seem calm, and all your emergency preparations just don't have the same urgency as they did when spiced with a hint of fear. So, are you letting them slide? Are you forgetting that disasters come in all sizes and shapes, and from a variety of causes?

Are you prepared for the vagaries of seasonal weather? I ask as I watch the snow come down, heavy though not as bad as I had thought it might come, and think about my preparations (full preparedness archives and Prepearedness Week). Are you prepared for what Mother Nature can do? Are you ready for loss of power, heat, water, and more? Are you prepared to go outside and take care of things, or even drive somewhere, if the weather gets really nasty? Are you prepared to be caught out away from home, and have to make it back or go to a safe place?

Think on this a bit today, and then act so that you are prepared. For you can't fool Mother Nature...
