It’s happening tomorrow April 30th, Saturday-all day. When you think about it you already prepare every day. You prepare for work, school, and dinner. Why not prepare for an emergency event too, Come on, its easy!
FEMA wants you to tweet tomorrow-what you are doing to prepare for a natural, manmade disaster or medical emergency. They want you to use the hashtag #prepareathon in your tweet, so they can see what we’re all thinking and doing.
…and if you want to impress FEMA, and we here at the Go Stay Kit certainly do (to get the word out about emergency preparedness), we are going to be tweeting like crazy all day, using that hashtag.
FYI: Here are some of the things FEMA says we can do to prepare!
- Gather up important documents & keep them safe. Have all of your personal, medical, and legal papers in one place, so you can evacuate without worrying about gathering your family’s critical documents at the last minute. Hint Hint…The Go Stay Kit works for this purpose, in fact that’s why we designed it.
- Sign up for emergency text alerts on your smart phone from local government agencies, like your city’s emergency management department, and get regional weather alerts.
- Talk to your family and friends, create a family communications plan and a meet-up spot in case things get tough.
