Do We Need a Home Emergency Survival Kit?
There?s an old proverb, purportedly translated from ancient Chinese, that goes: ?May you live in interesting times.? It sounds like a blessing, or at least a well-wishing; in fact, it?s actually a curse.
Like it or not, we are definitely living in ?interesting times? today.
With our news filled with reports of war and conflict, global warming, (and all its associated consequences), earthquakes, volcanic activity, epidemics and pandemics ? it truly seems the Biblical Four Horsemen are galloping through our lives with savage intentions.
It?s hardly a wonder many normally sensible people are beginning to fall prey to siege mentality.
While I like to think that the readership and visitors of Home Safety Site are above that sort of thinking, there are things we shouldn?t shrug off. One is the need for a Home Emergency Survival Kit of some sort.
Troubling times require preparedness. As William Booher of the US Federal Emergency Management Agency is quoted as saying: ?It?s important to build an emergency supply kit and have it ready and available at a moment?s notice.?
