Tonight was our neighborhood watch meeting. We had a speaker come to talk about emergency preparedness. How to get out of a burning building? Make sure your smoke detectors are working first! Then if the house or building is on fire, crawl.
Make sure you are ready with your emergency preparedness box/bin/container. Food, water, medicine, blankets, bandages, plastic bags, batteries, radio, flashlight, etc. It is important to be prepared. Have a plan. A person to call outside of the area to be the point person. Have a reunification plan with your loved ones. A place to meet if an emergency happens and you can't get to your home. Where will you meet up?
It was an informative meeting with handouts and lots of laughter. I think laughter is important for meetings. Especially meetings after work and after dinner. Keep it light and moving.
Hopefully more neighbors will become prepared. I don't have enough food and water for all of them!
Until tomorrow...
