This is your block captain speaking!

It was amid grumbling that my husband and I accepted the role of our districts emergency preparedness block captains! At the time it was perceived as one more thing to add to our growing heap of tasks. We are just in that phase of life! The raising a family and constantly moving at 900 miles per hour phase:) We love this phase but have had to do some major prioritizing as to which situations were truly in need of our attention....sooo this seemed a little daunting.

   In actuality it has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. That little prompting we needed to get prepared for whatever may be ahead. We are constantly working on our food storage. Adding a little here and there. Canning season is coming up and I cannot explain the satisfaction of seeing and knowing the benefits of your effort. In overseeing the preparations of others we had no choice but to look at our own set up. Would we be prepared? Without going overboard and remaining practical we now have a kit for each member of our family. I wanted to share with my family and friends the importance of being prepared. We may not see it in our lifetime, or it may happen tomorrow. Are you prepared?
