In Case Of Emergency, Read Blog

Today, I will be on the The Brian Lehrer Show (820AM/93.9FM) between 10:40am-11:00am. I am appearing on the show every week in April to discuss emergency preparedness in a series titled “Are You Ready”. Last week’s segment focused on my involvement in the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) volunteer program. 

 

One of the topics we are going to cover today is how to create a ‘Go Bag’, and the show has created a Flickr ’Go-Bag’ project.

We are asking you to post the ’comfort item’ that you have (or plan to) put in your ‘go-bag’. A comfort item is a something that may not be vital but might make you feel better or help pass the time if, for example, you were evacuated to an emergency shelter during a hurricane.

Hopefully, this will spur those who have not yet created a ‘Go-Bag’ to do so.
