Recently, I decided to up my emergency preparedness game. I used to be REALLY prepared, but now I'm less prepared...somehow. How did that happen?? So, I thought I'd document the process as a way to organize my thoughts, measure progress and create a repository of collected information.
So, what exactly am I preparing for? I see this as a process, starting with preparing for expected, everyday emergencies, like being stuck on the side of the road waiting for help, or having to walk home if the roads are bad. Then there are emergencies that might require me to leave my home. When I lived in Florida, this was not an uncommon occurrence during hurricane season. It seems less likely where I live now, but you never really know, do you? Then there are emergencies that might require us to "shelter in place" for a few days (or longer) without power or water or open stores.
I've already made some progress (and a LOT of lists)! Later this week, I'll be writing about my everyday carry (EDC) and car emergency kit/get home bag (GHB).
