		<description><![CDATA[With modern conveniences such as electricity and technology, we have become accustomed to a standard of living in which lights, water, and food are always available at our fingertips. We have also come to expect that if we have an emergency, the paramedics, fire trucks, and police are just minutes away and ready to come to our rescue. All of these are essential to life and survival, but can you really expect them during a major emergency or disaster? The answer is quite simply…no. No matter where we live, we are susceptible to some type of disaster. Floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, fires, major storms, viral outbreaks, or other disasters/major emergencies are a part of our lives and something we don’t usually think about until it happens. I have 25 years of experience in coordinating emergency/disaster response, both in the military and the local county sector. In my years of working in emergency services, I have experienced the full cycle of working with and talking to rescuers and victims from the start of the emergency through to the end, when the clean up and rebuilding begins.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the first things that will fail in a disaster is communications.  Unfortunately, it is one thing we need most following a disaster.  Most families are separated during the day and sometimes evening.  With parents working, kids going to school and their after school activities, we are rarely together at all times. We already know how important it is to have emergency supplies on hand. You should have emergency kits that can be picked up and are ready to grab and go. Emergency food and water are a must. If disaster strikes though, how will you be able to communicate with your spouse or child if their phone is down? Establish a family disaster preparedness communications plan. Amazon.com WidgetsEstablish one outside family member or friend who does not live in the local area to be the point of contact for your family.  If all of your family knows to call Aunt Mary in Tucson if they can’t reach you, Aunt Mary can be the one person they can reach to get word that you are ok and where everyone is.  She becomes the go-between of information.  You can’t reach anyone at the school to find out if the kids [...]]]></description>
