Our monthly focus is still on the Disaster Supplies Kit (a.k.a. a 72-hour kit), as you will recall from our Feb. 15 challenge (I hope you all made your lists). This mini-challenge will be a little different.
I don't want you to buy anything, make any lists, or any plans. I am just going to challenge you to do one simple thing. Spread the word. Our March 1 mini-challenge is to make sure you talk to someone you care about, and ask about their Disaster Supplies Kit.
It can be anyone...it can be more than ONE anyone. Maybe another parent from school, that strange guy in the next cubicle over, your next door neighbor, a family member, a friend. It doesn't matter who you choose.
Provident Living is about more than just getting our little corner of the universe neat and tidy and ready for anything. We also have a responsibility to help others get ready as well. The first step in that process is getting the word out.
A Disaster Supplies Kit is an important part of being prepared, and one that most people are familiar with. Pick your person (or persons). Share the resources we've pointed out (or ones that you have found on your own). Show them the sites you've learned about. Show them this blog. Show them your lists or your kits (if you are ahead of me and already have one done!). Share your ideas about Provident Living or emergency preparedness. Whatever path you take, please don't let another day pass before you share with someone else.
If each of us makes an effort to reach out, to share knowledge, then there is hope that more people will begin to take notice and to get their own lives and homes ready. It may not seem like much, but any great work is built brick by brick, person by person.
So, go out. Share your ideas. Spread the word.
