Here in the U.S. June brings the beginning of the Hurricane Season. As something which I have an interest in from a personal and professional prospective, I encourage you to check out some of the links under my "Disaster Preparedness" heading. "Get a kit; Make a plan, Be informed"-- right? Get dry ice for the Guinness as well. Pizza place on iPhone speed dial. And more Guinness.
Heck, I speak of hurricanes here in the U.S.; but we are already seeing devastating tornadoes, floods and wildfires. People on the other side of the globe from my family have had to go through cyclones and earthquakes themselves of late.
If you get a chance, drop a donation to a worthy organization, volunteer in some way to help those in need even in your own community. There are many opportunities and ways to assist. (Begin Soapbox) Even if you can teach a class, fix a computer at a charity or senior center, coach a sport in your community or serve a meal in a free kitchen it WILL help in many ways. Your volunteering can free up others so they may volunteer somewhere their skills may be needed--possibly putting out a wildfire or helping disaster victims. Everything you do to help; HELPS! Every amount of money or time you can contribute helps incredibly. Just check out Charity Navigator if you are going to donate some hard-earned cash (End Soapbox).
So, that said, I urge you again to make certain you, your family, friends and business is prepared for whatever disasters might come your way. June, I thought was a good time to bring this up.
Let's be careful out there. Be safe and well.
