Fortunately we dont really need an emergency heat source since we are in Las Vegas (we always had a propane heater for emergencies in Seattle).Cash Only Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658816214856647685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436155035740778098.post-76798775071855607052014-01-12T15:37:05.113-08:002014-01-12T15:37:05.113-08:00When I had my business in Seattle I had a handful ...When I had my business in Seattle I had a handful of clients who would contract with me for hospital disaster/patient surge planning. Although I was mainly writing plans and doing government contract work, I ended up getting trained and certified and drilled in a lot of disaster prep stuff. On your other comment, I had to laugh when I was hiking in Canada...as I was hiking through the woods I had a momentary worry about someone shooting in my direction then I remembered I was in Canada and felt much safer!Cash Only Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658816214856647685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436155035740778098.post-17778172535770738972014-01-12T10:44:26.354-08:002014-01-12T10:44:26.354-08:00Glad you are enjoying your tablet, April!

What was your former work that kept you in the loop about disaster planning? I had to laugh at your list; it sounds so American to me to see the gun-related stuff :) But all the rest are things I think about and I've done 8-10 of them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4436155035740778098.post-35245224332338080422014-01-12T10:31:22.635-08:002014-01-12T10:31:22.635-08:00Great list!

I might add 2, at least a one month supply of all prescribed medications on hand all the time (if it is something you must take regularly ie like my hubby's asthma meds). The other would be some way to cook the food you have stockpiled for an emergency. We have a natural gas bbq which when the power goes out still works (natural gas connection to the houses). If the natural gas was cut off likely our home would not be liveable anyway. My mom has flashlights, and batteries stockpiled. I keep a camping light as our backup with one of those huge batteries. We had to use it last month when the power went out in the middle of the night and suddenly our CO2 detector kept beeping as it's 9 volt backup batter was low. Had to dig out the ladder at 2 am to get the bloody thing changed (think 9 foot ceilings and two short people). Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.com
