Can you believe we’re already half way through the year, that we’re already in September?  The year seems to have flown by, almost unexpectedly, but don’t get caught off guard – get prepared.

September is National Preparedness Month and it’s a good time to assess how prepared you’d be if something crazy and unexpected happens.  While it might seem impossible to be ready for anything, you can give yourself a fighting chance.

Check out Ready.gov to download emergency checklists.  There’s information for almost anyone, so check out the links below, and poke around the Ready.gov site.  It’s pretty thorough and has lots of helpful information.  Since it is a lot of information, tackle one checklist at a time and involve your family members in gathering everything you need.
