Be Prepared

If we have learned anything from the last few natural disasters, the floods and fires, none of us are guaranteed to be immune from disasters. None of these people probably ever thought these things could happen to them. Certainly not to the scale that they have.

If you suffer a personal tragedy, your local friends and neighbors often come to help, but what if your whole community is in the same boat? Then the rest of the world needs to help. Hopefully that is what is going to happen for the California fire victims once the fires are out and the totality is added up.

The one thing I came across today is a check list of things we should have in the cloud in case we ever need it. I am guilty of not having these items in one place I could easily get my hands on if I had to evacuate. I did watch a fire victim having it her fire safe cracked open and the papers were unreadable. It seems that if it were all in the cloud one would be able to access it from anywhere.

I write this knowing that it will take me a while to gather all this information, and even longer to upload it, but I know it it’s important to do. So I share it with you. Sorry it is not in a more user friendly format. I screen shot the information as I didn’t want it to get lost and at least the photo of it is now in the cloud for me.

To all my LA friends. I hope you are still safe. I know there is a long road ahead. Please know we are praying for you and your community.

    This is very helpful. I always worry about hurricanes, living in Central Florida. Thanks Dana! I am going to keep this list and be better prepared next hurricane season. In my case, I probably will have all this assembled in case I have to evacuate. We have days, literally, of notice before a hurricane comes. Hurricanes are the one natural disaster I worry about in Florida. (Although we have tornadoes too.)
