Hello World,
My intention of this blog is to ask the question WHY? And to find the answers as to why, not excuses; but justified reasons, then perhaps the WHY can be solved!!
WHY Number 1:
With all the Natural Disasters occurring throughout the planet WHY are humans so unprepared?
There are numerous sites on the World Wide Web with free training and information on how to be prepared for such:
o FEMA’s - Are you Ready
http://www.fema.gov/areyouready/
o Citizens Corps – Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT)
https://www.citizencorps.gov/cert/
o Department of Health and Senior Services - Ready in 3
http://www.dhss.mo.gov/Ready_in_3/
These are just a few offered here in the United States. Many are translated into Foreign languages. So, the problem is not having access to the information or being able to read the information in an understandable language.
Perhaps, the problem is just taking the time to read the information and applying it to each individuals circumstance.
Each person should ask themselves,
Are you, your family’s, and neighbors’ lives worth spending a few hours learning how to be prepared for a Natural Disaster?
Think of all the lives that could be saved if only one person in each household took the time to prepare.
There is an old commercial that was on TV many years ago that simply said:
Do you know where your children are?
I believe today the question should be:
Do you know your Emergency Operations Plan?
