Preparedness

The following is a quote from the Dept of Homeland Security Internet site from the December 2008 and January 2009 time frame which explains their interest:
Resolve to be Ready 2009

As the New Year approaches, the Department of Homeland Security’s Ready Campaign is once again reminding people that Now’s the Time. Resolve to be Ready in 2009. While nearly 50 percent of Americans make New Year's Eve resolutions, very few manage to keep them. The Ready Campaign would like to make an emergency preparedness resolution easy to keep by providing the tools and resources needed to take the three important steps: get a kit, make a plan and be informed. We hope you will join the Ready Campaign this Holiday Season in promoting Resolve to be Ready. http://www.ready.gov/
Be Ready Utah and the Lt. Governor Remind You to "Be Prepared"

Utah sees natural disasters like lightning, fire, flood and earthquake and want's to remind all of our citizens to be prepared! As our political sponsor, Lt. Governor Gary Herbert and his son Brad have taken to the airwaves to spread the message. You can catch their exciting spot here on BeReadyUtah.gov or by watching FOX13.

Remember, always have a 72-hour Emergency Supply Kit ready for each member of your household and have it in a place that is easy to grab in case of an emergency.

This is another great program for kids so that they can feel involved and not just hear scary words without knowing what is going on. They actually participate in the planning and evolution of the plan. They can even become ‘Certified Preparedness Kids.’ http://www.ready.gov/kids/home.html
