Plan to attend classes to learn more about how your community is making a difference in emergency disaster preparedness & response #NatlPrep
I do tons of training, and Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) is a great place to start to learn what to do in an emergency. Best part? Almost all the training is offered free to many communities across this great nation.
#PlanAhead and learn good stuff!
This week we focus in on how we plan to help our neighbors and community. Yes, your own community.
Learn more about local government and how your hometown provides service before, during, and after an emergency. #NatlPrep
Me and the Mayor of my hometown!

Make sure you PlanAhead for your favorite #MRE in your emergency preparedness kit otherwise you will have an unsavory disaster. #NatlPrep
MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) is a great resource for your kit. Plan accordingly as you should find the right flavor that meets your needs. There are various flavors now including (vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, etc…)
IMHO, hot sauce/sriracha is still critically important.
Choose wisely and improve your chances during a disaster.

No matter what kind of family pet you have, please make sure when you evacuate that you take your pets with you!
Evacuating? Fur sure take your pets w/ you & bring their pet emergency preparedness kit that has food + water + meds + IDs #NatlPrep
Your plan should identify specific shelters that can shelter your pets. Big or small!

Flashlights (not just flashlight) are key components of your preparedness kit. But there are soooooo many kinds of flashlights to choose from. Keep in mind that handheld ones are important, but headlamps are AWESOME!
Headlamps are GREAT flashlights too bec they allow hands-free operation when gathering things to safely evacuate #NatlPrep
Planning with items like this is a great way to bring light to a dark situation. Yes, pun intended. Hands free makes life easier…esp in a disaster.
When writing up your families’ preparedness plan, don’t forget to include flashlights and a rugged headlamp!
When making a plan for your family, do include planning for your Dad. That’s right, Dads could be in danger!

In an emergency, make sure your Dad is safe.
Plan ahead and stay safe!
