Do you have an emergency plan prepared for your family? It’s one of those things that you believe (hope?) will never be required. While it may be difficult to imagine, bad things happen. Better to be prepared than to “wing it” and hope for the best. It’s also important to remember that, in emergency situations, even a small bit of panic or anxiety can cloud your ability to respond in a meaningful way. Fairfax County, along with more than a dozen other local entities, provide a guide to help you prepare for an emergency. With everything from a communication plan to a survival kit the “Preparedness Planner” helps you complete the plan in about 15 minutes. Try it. Go ahead. What’s 15 minutes? When an emergency happens you’ll be happy that you did. Click this to follow the guide at ReadyNOVA.com.
