September is National Preparedness Month.
Make a difference this month by sharing what you know, encouraging others to do something more to be prepared and do more yourself to become better prepared.
Spread the news. This is a great month for preppers, as you will see a lot of companies with sales on their preparedness items, as well as harvests coming in with plenty of fresh foods to lay in store for another time. Get ready for the upcoming winter.
I have notices an increase in emergency preparedness stores offering discounts and free giveaways!
Ask those who had to evacuate the Herriman fire last Sunday (9/19/10) if they had bug-out-bags ready to go. I would bet only a small percentage did. Living barely outside the evacuation area, we gave serious thought to our own preparedness. This week I put all of our important papers into a fire-proof, water-proof case, along with thumb drives with back-ups of our important computer files & photos. I am in the process of completing our BOBs. This fire was a real eye-opener for many of us!!
Exactly, we have a few people that have said as much. I’m hoping a couple will be sharing their experiences on here soon.
