I was driving through Washington DC the other day and listening to talk radio when I heard an ad for the Ready.gov website.  I think you should check this out:

 http://www.ready.gov/

This website outlines programs, plans and actions both families and businesses can take to prepare for a potential disaster whether it be natural or man-made.  Disaster planning takes on additional importance as we come into full hurricane season.  We also must consider our need for preparedness and constant vigilance as a nation to protect ourselves from terrorist attacks.  Visit the Ready America section which outlines the items needed for a Basic Emergency Supply Kit.

Then visit the Ready Business section especially if you work in an office, away from home and you have employees.  What would you do if you and your employees were trapped in your office for some period of time?  Do you have a store of non-perishable food and water to hold you for even a day?

This is a thought-provoking and action-oriented website about a serious topic.  I recommend it highly.  Your Thoughts?
