Emergency Preparedness

Okay, so we all know that I’m a bit of a “Prepare for the worst” type of person. Which is why I have 3, count them, 3 earthquake kits. One at home, one at work and one in my car. People make fun of me, but when the shit hits the fan people are gonna be freaking out, and I’ll be hunkered down under my tarp tent, making lentil soup on my portable stove, and perusing a crossword in my comfy pants. We’ll see who’s laughing then! Just kidding, I wouldn’t laugh. I would probably be helping someone make their own tent . . . even if it’s just out of duct tape, which I will also have.

At any rate, I find myself reading quite a few articles about preparedness and then patting myself on the back afterwards, because I’ve usually taken the majority of the steps mentioned. Then somebody sent me an infographic about how to prepare your car for emergencies and I realized that I don’t actually have anything in my car to help with car-related type emergencies, with the exception of jumper cables. So needless to say, I have some work to do on that front. Since I found it helpful, I figured that all of you might as well. Here’s a link to the original post, but here’s the graphic that I like:

Pretty cool huh? Now if you will excuse me, I need to do some research on seat-belt cutters and flares!
