Yesterday, the hubby and I watched an amazing and awe-inspiring program on NatGeo - Witness: Tornado Swarm 2011. It was shocking that a record number of tornadoes occurred in April 2011…folks, this was just last month and over 300 people were killed.

So, I turned to my husband and said: “I don’t think we have everything in place if there’s a tornado in DC.” It might seem unlikely that we’d get a tornado here, but there are other things we should get ready for. We get storms all the time and it seems like the weather has turned on its ear lately.

Are you ready for any emergency? You can be by checking out Ready.gov. This site can help you to:

1. Create an emergency supply kit.

2. Create a family emergency plan.

3. Be informed about several types of disasters and threats.

Do you already have a kit and an emergency plan? How long did it take you to pull it together?
