I guess you never know what type of emergency situation we will need to deal with. County health officials in the United States are on alert now that the swine flu has crossed into the US from Mexico. In addition, Yahoo reports that additional new flu virus strains are on the rise in the US, causing some to fear an epidemic. These are reminders of how important it is to be prepared. Whether it is the flu, swine flu, an earthquake, fire, or other natural disaster, the same principles apply: 1) Prepare a
family disaster plan; and 2)
Obtain emergency provisions, including
food,
water and other emergency supplies. You can start by getting a basic
72 hour kit.
Today the Daily Sentinel in Colorado reported on the swine flu, stating, "State officials also urged Coloradans to be prepared in the event of an epidemic, stockpiling at home a two-week supply of food, water and other emergency supplies." For more information, see the following articles.
