GOT PREPAREDNESS?

It's great to be prepared because you never know when disaster will strike.  You just hope you have everything in order for when it sneaks up on you.

But beware!  Disaster will strike our own little neighborhood on September 19th!  As your emergency preparedness specialists, we are warning you now...be ready. You are going to need all the emergency preparedness items/skills you can get for our 2011 emergency preparedness challenge: "Got Preparedness?"

Beginning on the morning of September 19th, we will post a challenge on our blog each day for 5 days.  Each challenge will fit into one of the following categories:
Home and Auto Emergencies
Food and Home Storage
72 Hour Kits
Evacuation and Emergency Communication
Survival Skills and First-Aid
Financial Preparedness
Fire Safety

Points will be awarded for completed challenges along with prizes for families with the most points.  At the end of the challenge, join us for our Emergency Preparedness Fair on September 24th at 9:00am. 

Each family must sign up to participate and be eligible for prizes.  Please post a comment on the blog or e-mail or call Kammi to sign up. 

You've been given the heads-up.  Disaster will strike.  Are you game?

  7. Allrighty, we're in. I fear finding out that we may not be nearly as prepared as we like to think we are, but if that's the case, at least we'll know where we need work!
