Emergency Preparedness Plus Enter to Win!
With this week’s eruption of Mount Redoubt, the Red River flooding and remembering the New Orleans disaster, it got me to thinking again about Emergency Preparedness.
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), officials and relief workers will arrive on location after a disaster has occurred but it may take “hours, or it might take days” before they can reach everyone. And we all know how that went.
1800Prepare is a website owned by Disaster Kits, LLC., offering all things for emergency preparedness: tips and information, survival planning and preparation, plus an array of products for purchase from survival kits to pet preparedness.
I love the idea of giving a survival kit to your family or friends as a gift – what a way to show that you truly care! Disaster Kits, LLC., donates a percentage of sales to other groups and organizations that also help in dealing with disasters.
THE PRIZE: A 30% off coupon that can be used on the 1800Prepare website.
ENTER TO WIN: Submit a comment to this post with a valid email address and one winner will be chosen on Sunday, April 5, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The winner will be notified by email and announced in Monday’s TravelWriter blog post. Thanks for reading and Good Luck!
It is very important for all of us to be prepared. We in California know what it is like not to be prepared so this is very important and so easy to do. Thanks for the great post. jmcojo@gmail.com
Sounds good–I could use some emergency preparedness since I’m in Anchorage. All we really got was dirty snow, but the only masks I have are in my car…which I probably shouldn’t use yet.
