2012 - Are you ready?

Is the end of the world really coming?

Or is it just a big media frenzy with not much to it?

Regardless of what one believes, it is always a good idea to be prepared for Emergencies and Disasters. The movie 2012 has brought the topic of emergency preparedness back into people's minds. Those that have seen the movie have noticed that it is filled with great effects which, although often exaggerated, do show various disasters that can occur and for which we need to be prepared.


Emergency Preparedness is not about the end of the world.
It is about planning ahead for small, medium sized and even the larger scale disasters.

Emergency Preparedness is not about being scared.
It is about being ready and feeling better once you are prepared.

Emergency Preparedness is not about sitting back and waiting for the government to arrive.
It is about being self sufficient for several days, even without outside assistance and help.

Emergency Preparedness is not a sign of weakness.
It is a sign of taking responsibility for one's self and those that depend on you during times of crisis.

Emergency Preparedness is not about wasting money on stuff that sits in a closet.
It is about carefully selecting the supplies and gear that best suit your needs based on your living situation.

Emergency Preparedness is not about being selfish.
It is about being able to survive a dangerous situation and get to safety - and then being able to assist those that need help.

Emergency Preparedness is not difficult!
If is about letting your day pass through your mind, morning to evening, and then determine what items and supplies you need during a 24 hour period such as;

sanitary items

clothing

food and water

shelter

light and warmth

Then think what else you need during a disaster, such as;

evacuation routes to safe areas

items to help yourself and others in need

first aid

safety tools and equipment

and more, depending on your living situation

Then think about what you need after a disaster, such as;

contact information for family, friends, etc.

contact information for insurance, doctors, hospital, etc.

methods to communicate with family, friends, etc.

documentation for personal ID, insurance, health care, etc.

place of shelter if your home became unlivable

and more, depending on your living situation
