Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Preparedness Information
The thought of Emergency Preparedness, Food Storage, learning to use radios and a whole host of other things can be overwhelming. Plus, our busy lives leave little room for focusing on these things. These are resources that can help you do a little at a time, not one thing works for everyone. It may be easier to use the 52 week preparedness plan or to just pick up one extra thing when you do your shopping.

Medical
We are so used to making a phone call and having medical professionals show up within a few minutes. What if there has just been a major disaster and they are overwhelmed? What are you going to do if a family member or friend has severe or life threatening injuries?
This section is not to offer any medical advice, just to provide information about medical supplies to store and good places to obtain supplies.
More information is still being added to this section all the time.
