National Preparedness Month Unplugged

How about a National Preparedness Month Challenge Like No Other!

What would happen if there was a disaster? No power for an entire week?

Do you have food in your house that does not require power to cook? What would we do without a microwave oven? The world's greatest invention!

In honor of National Preparedness Month and to do something good for the environment (think Green), unplug your microwave on Wednesday, September 3!

Unplug it for the entire day, for just one day. Eat a home cooked meal with your family and discuss your family emergency plan.

Start here on Ready.gov to learn how to create a plan for your family.

Stan Walters, good article REACT and CERT do go hand in hand to complement each other. That is why here in central Indiana we combined the two ideas into one team; Central Indiana REACT-CERT team 6137 chartered team of REACT International, Inc < http://www.reactintl.org/ >. I invite you to come visit our website < www.reactindiana.org > and see what we are doing you may find ideas for your area, or give us ideas for our team.
