Your House In Order

Is your house in order? This question is often posed to people to get them to take a complete evaluation of something very close and important to them. I ask this question in context of your physical home (house, apartment, condo/townhouse, college dorm...anyplace you may live), your family and your community. Is your house in order? Are you and your family prepared for disaster?

1.) Water (1 gal. per person per day)
2.) Food (buy foods that support diet needs-low sodium, etc...)
3.) Cash & Important Documents (scan docs to usb/cd rom)
4.) Clothes (store in air tight/zip type bad to keep dry)
5.) Flashlights (batteries should be fresh)
6.) First Aid Kit/N95 respirator
7.) Medicine (children, elderly, pets too!)
8.) Radio (battery, crank, solar power)
9.) Toiletries

Do you have "it" in you?

Do you have "it" in you?
The 2008 Summer Games provided a number of unforgettable memories. The most memorable to me was seeing "Lin" a child; lead Yao Ming who was leading his country in front of the world. Lin was there because a few weeks prior, while in school saved 2 of his classmates lives after the magnitude-7.9 quake in the Sichuan Province of China. When asked why he did it, Lin replied..."I am the hall monitor". He had "it" in him. Do you have "it" in you? Click on Yao Ming to see the story of the 2008 China earthquake.
