EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

From natural disasters to unexpected household issues, planning ahead is smart. Learn how to maintain the emergency supplies you need to keep your family safe and how to stock a household to be ready for unplanned situations.

Be Ready for Anything

We just never know, do we? That’s why taking emergency preparedness planning seriously is so important.

Maybe it’s a weather event or other natural disaster. Perhaps the bread-winner in your family is suddenly laid off. Or maybe there’s an incoming ballistic missile and you only have a few minutes to figure out what to do. (I’m in Hawai‘i; true story!)

A catastrophic emergency is the best time to put your skills at self-reliant living forward. When things get dicey, it’s such a relief to know that you’ve got things under control. Emergency preparedness will allow you to breathe easier during times that challenge you.

Having a disaster plan in place and knowing what you might need for your survival during a short-term or extended emergency situation can help ease some of the stress we face in uncertain times.

From natural disasters to unexpected household issues, planning ahead is smart. Learn how to maintain the emergency supplies you need to keep your family safe and how to stock a household to be ready for unplanned situations.

Becoming more self-reliant is good for us in emergencies and day to day life – not to mention better for the environment. Gradually switching our lifestyles to becoming more self-reliant now instead of waiting until we’re in crisis mode can prevent panic and provide a sense of stability, even when it feels like things are swirling out of our control.
