Are you prepared for the unexpected?

 Are you prepared for the unexpected? Emergencies can happen at any time, and being prepared can make all the difference.

Take a few minutes to create an emergency plan for you and your family. Identify a safe meeting place, and have important documents easily accessible, in case you have to leave your home.

Being prepared for emergencies means stocking up on essential supplies such as having enough food and water to sustain you and your family for at least a week. Canned goods, dried fruits and nuts, and energy bars are all good options. Make sure to also have a manual can opener and utensils available.

Water is essential for survival, and it's important to have at least one gallon of water per person per day. Don't forget to include water for your pets too!

Don't wait until it's too late to prepare. Take action today and give yourself peace of mind knowing that you and your loved ones are ready for whatever comes your way. Remember, being prepared can make all the difference in an emergency.

Businesses using the platform were brought to a standstill for the six hours of the outage. The question there is, “Are there too many eggs in one basket?” We talk about redundancy in prepping, what about in communications? Cell phones, email, and video chats were not affected, but they could have been. The next question is, “What would be the effect if all Internet and cell communications went down?" In just the six hours of social media outage, some were experiencing anxiety and withdrawals. Have we become too addicted to our devices and social media? No doubt that it would be devastating if all social communications...
