Home Security For a Safer Life

So the crazies and loons are going to be out for their favorite “holiday.” How a country can celebrate such an inane time of the year with clear roots in paganism. That issue is not the pagan roots however but the constant drone of “rights” without responsibilties.

People have the RIGHT to do all sorts of things but continue to ignore the responsibilities of thier own actions. Take for instance the kid station on cable tv, Nickelodeon. They have this commercial, I think an effort at a “public service” announcement where there’s a bag of sugar and they explain sugar is BAD and is in a lot of different foods. Now if they really beleived it’s BAD for people, why did they then run 3 ads right after this sugar is BAD message?

Oh, the ads…

1 for fruit roll-ups. A well known sugar rush
2. M and M’s . enough said
3. A certain sugared cereal that features a captian.

So that’s the real horror of the world. Large corporations saying 1 thing, and doing another for the almightly dollar
Trick or Treat!

When unexpected emergencies occur like those in Louisiana and across the South, our greatest individual defense is preparedness. Making an emergency plan, getting an emergency supply kit and identifying preparedness and response resources in our homes and within our communities are several things we can do to prepare ourselves.

September is National Preparedness Month in the United States. Take the time during the month to contact local emergency organizations and get the facts on being prepared. Create an emergency kit for each member of your household and keep it stocked with up to date items.

Items items should include a months supply of any medication you or your family members may be taking.
Enough drinking water to last 1 week.
Canned meat, fruit and vegetables.
Communication devices. ie: Battery operated radio, Enough batteries for the radio to run a week. An extra cell phone battery on the charger
Flashlight with more batteries
Toilet paper and other paper products in vacuum sealed bags.

The tragedy of Katrina was made worse by the lack pf preparedness at all levels of government but also by individual people. We should all be ready to take care of our basic needs for at least a week without any utilities or outside assistance, Being ready may mean the difference between a problem becoming a crisis or just an inconvenience.

Out prayers go out to all who have lost so much in the south.
