I’m pleased you’ve stopped by my blog. While I may not know you and your family, I care about your safety.
Emergencies disrupt families. Disasters up-end communities and our workplaces. They cost lives.
Preparation and planning for home, neighborhood and work is a personal responsibility. Preparation Brings Peace of Mind.
Perhaps you are already someplace on the preparation path or wanting to be. Or you may have decided you do not have the interest, need, time or resources for it.
Preparing does not have to be a pressure. Some even find it enjoyable! (That’s me). The key to successful emergency preparation is to create a personal/family plan to be the guide. Then take it on step-by-step. Working at it with regularity is far better than rushing into it and becoming overwhelmed.
Not only should it not take over your life, it should not take over your budget. Most of us have limitations to the resources of time and treasure we can devote to preparing for emergencies whether they be: the likely, the “what ifs”, or the “not if, but whens.”
I am a long-time community and workplace emergency volunteer – helping, as health permits – in my Canyon Rim community, Millcreek city as well as Salt Lake County, ChamberWest and my church. I am especially grateful to serve the Utah Commission on Aging sharing a preparedness message with seniors.
My life experience, observations and research are reflected in the articles posted here. I invite you to explore them and return often. I will continue to share personal experience and summaries of my own continuing education. The learning never stops.
I hope you will share this site with family, neighbors and colleagues. If you have comments, please click on Contact. This blog is a work in-progress and I welcome your suggestions.
Please keep in mind, I am a passionate volunteer emergency specialist, focused on providing you with reliable information. There are many opinions and approaches to preparedness.
I have a request of you: Build upon the information you find here and elsewhere by doing your own homework. Information is only as useful as it meets the needs of you and yours.
