We make sure to have canned goods and other shelf items on hand during winter months just in case we're snowed in or other disasters occur.

Loved to read your blog. I would like to suggest you that traffic show most people read blogs on Mondays. So it should encourage bloggers to write new write ups over the weekend primarily.

I have three boys so we role-play a fire in our home. With the assistance of our neighbors (who are our safety meeting place), we imagine and go thru our escape route. One of the scariest things I was told by a firefighter, is that children hide from them because they are afraid of the respirators on the fireman's air tanks (sounds kind of like Darth Vader). To prepare for this, we've gone to the fire department and have the kids watch them crawl up to them in their full fire gear.

Good tips. Since so many people are dependent on cell phone, we often don’t know phone numbers anymore. I keep an address book with key phone numbers. I keep all important documents- insurance, car titles, birth certificates in a safe box that is water and fireproof.
