Preparedness comes in all shapes and sizes.
And for this #ThrowBackThursday (#TBT) – I showcase a small sardine’s can of preparedness.
This includes a sardine’s can worth of stuff.
How much stuff?
Well, I guess it’s better than nothing.
This must be a record. I’ve had a ton of requests about my exact emergency pancho housed in my GoKit.
(Coin to be used for packed sized comparison)
And if you are going to ask, I believe I look as sexy as the model pictured.
Seriously, do you memorize all your phone numbers? Chances are, you don’t.
So stop goofing around on this holiday and create your family emergency communications plan here.
For those who have heard me talk about my own plan, I use ubiquitous NIMS ICS-205 form. #NIMS #ICS #FTW
Who’s embracing ICS now?
But seriously, take a few moments to plan for the safety of your family with your Family Emergency Communications Plan.
“Don’t Wait. Communicate. Make Your Emergency Plan Today.”
Tomorrow is the start of the 2016 National Preparedness Month. MY FAVORITE MONTH!
For those in public safety, this is an incredibly important month where we highlight preparedness efforts for all of our personnel and general public.
If you’ve sat in any of my classes before, you know that I am passionate about sharing the message of preparedness.
Lots of big plans including a special trip to Washington DC. Details to follow.
What the what?
Hi Craig-You know I double-checked my emergency preparedness kit. #NatlPrep #PrepareAthon
Everyone is participating. Everyone.
So I hope you join all of us in this national effort and participate because your friends and family look to you for good preparedness information.
“Don’t Wait. Communicate. Make Your Emergency Plan Today.”
Awwww yeah! Using gifs for preparedness?
Yaaaasssssssss! #winning
But then this happened:
Holey moley! It’s a good day when FEMA’s @ReadyGov RTs me and @PrepareAthon loves my gifs. #swoon
Now use your new social media powers for good.
Reporting live from the EOC…
Just checked my vehicle preparedness kit and I found this…
Dammit.
Double check your vehicle preparedness kits.#WinterStorm #Snowzilla2016
Wintry weather got you down?
It’s a good time to double check your preparedness items like canned goods. Remember to have food for x3 days per person.
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! It’s the last week of 2015 National Preparedness Month!
I hope you showcase your new preparedness actions this Wednesday September 30th on 2015 National Preparedness Day!
This morning, I double checked my dog’s (Kacy – my PreparednessPup) emergency preparedness kit. As you can see, I have partitioned her food in individual ziplock packages to make it easier for portion control during feeding time.
And you guessed it, there are at least 3 days of food.
Having her own pet preparedness kit and making her carry it on her own if/when we have to evacuate will be a huge help.
Pet preparedness!!!!!
Master, I demand a rawhide for this NTED preparedness photo session.

This better not be your plan when the power goes out…
One of the main reasons why people evacuate from the safety of their home is because they have no power source. For 2015 National Preparedness Month, here’s a few tips you can use before the power goes out:
Because no one likes a dead cell phone or portable device right?
Don’t wait. Communicate. Make your emergency plan today.
Plug into knowledge…and get better prepared today.
Be powered and Ready by starting here!
I double checked my vehicle preparedness kit today and I found this…
Because of the bitterly cold temps here in Ohio, some of my 3-day emergency supply of water froze.
So do me a favor, take a quick look at your kits and see if everything is still operational. If water is frozen, replace it. If flashlights are dead, replace the batteries.
Preparedness is an easy ongoing effort by everyone. Double check your vehicle preparedness kits today!
