DISASTER
It seems appropriate that after a long period of down-time, that I would follow my last posting on "Tornado Preparedness" with one one regarding Hurricanes. Yes, it is that time of year again. It is the official beginning of hurricane season in the northern hemisphere. So this is my annual message/reminder on the topic.
Below are some resources to help you be and stay prepared. First is a link to the American Red Cross site for the start of the season and how to be prepared:

So, keeping this somewhat brief, I have given you a few sites that should cover most of your preparedness needs and provide checklists so please check them or similar resources.
TIP: Make certain you have an emergency AM/FM radio and plenty of water! (This from the little bit of experience my family had.) Oh, and gather-up plenty of things to occupy your young children's time. Anything to keep young ones minds and hands busy so they can take their minds off of things for a moment and not be too bored either.
Stay ready!
