Emergency Preparedness? Me? *worry trigger*

Posted by corafree on July 24, 2006, at 20:07:59

Yesterday, my fam' and I began to discuss where we would meet if there were a catastrophic emergency. With my 'my drama and adrenalin rush in a crisis' and 'their practicality', we could create 'a plan'.

Think 'where to meet' depends on nature of emergency. Think 'an emergency kit' and 'list of things to grab' would be pretty much the same if you needed to leave your home.

I bought one of those wind-up AM/FM radios w/ push button Nat'l Weather Band and TV audio, but these checklists say to get a battery-operated radio and batteries.(?)

I found the following three sites offer preparedness plans.

OMG ... we couldn't compunnicate ... maybe no internet access. :[

The following three sites are FEMA, Red Cross, and Homeland Security.

I've found FEMA, Red Cross, and Homeland Security. Who would you trust?

Thoughts? Suggestions? Knowledge of which of the above organizations to count on?

"I could as easily get hit by a bus today as blah blah blah", doesn't strike me as funny tonight.

I thought maybe talking about it together would be good. I'm sorry. I totally understand if people don't even want to think about it.

bestwishes, cf
