You can be ready. Don't wait another day!

1. Write down every possible evacuation route out of every room in your home. Now you have an escape plan. This is the easiest thing to do, but it's so important. You need to have multiple exits in your mind in the case of a fire, or burglary.

2. Get a dynamo powered radio for communication during an emergency. When a disaster strikes, you need to know what's going on around you. You also don't have time to worry about batteries giving out.

3. Get a Water Filter for emergencies. We've said this before, and we'll say it again: You can live longer without food than you can without water. Make sure you have a way to get clean water!

4. Build up an emergency reserve of money. This money is only to be used in a REAL emergency. Because of the recent state of the economy, many are realizing the need to save more and spend less. It will ALWAYS pay off.

5. Get out of debt. Debt can kill your ability to get prepared. It can also stifle your ability to get back on your feet after an emergency. Your debt load makes you vulnerable.

6. Maintain an up-to-date 72-Hr-Kit. There will be times when you need to shelter-in-place, and other times when you need to evacuate quickly. Got a Kit?

7. Keep a fully stocked First-Aid-Kit. You may use this in a major emergency, or just because of the day-to-day accidents that can and will happen. Make sure you know whats in it.

8. Talk to your neighbors and create a neighborhood emergency plan. You are only as safe as the least prepared person around you. This is because you never know how people will react during an emergency situation.

9. Get an emergency sanitation kit. Sanitation and Hygiene are essential. Don't get caught without a sanitation plan and kit.

10. Plant a Garden. You can save a ton of money on food with a garden. But what's better, you have a ready source of food if the grocery store shelves are empty. You are in control.

You can be ready. Don't wait another day!
