Alan spent 25 years in the Army, then got into Emergency Measures. He talked of positives of a military career. He emphasized our need to be prepared in an emergency, especially in a big emergency the First Responders will not come, they will be occupied elsewhere. First Response is insufficient to deal with everyone in a big incident. The object of emergency measures is to prevent / mitigate for the big disaster. To have a plan. Each one of us needs a plan. At home, in the car. Be prepared when traveling. Have a kit for at least 72 hours including food, water, heat source. Potential emergencies can be fire, chemical spills, building evacuation. There is lots of info on web sites. Be prepared.
