30 Day Preparedness Challenge: Day 22

We've talked some about building a first aid kit and most of us have very basic first aid knowledge, but do you have any intermediate or advanced first aid knowledge?

Have you been through a CPR/First Aid class? CPR/First Aid classes are inexpensive and can give valuable skills and knowledge.

If you don't have your CPR/First Aid card, do some research and find out where the class is being held in your area.

If you do have advanced first aid knowledge, then just make sure you're up to date (as procedures are always changing) and maybe brush up on a skill or two by reading or practicing a skill.

Good luck!

30 Day Preparedness Challenge: Day 21

In today's challenge, it's time to take a look at your car kit.

Not only is it a good idea to have a BOB, big you should have a car kit that is kept exclusively in your car in case of emergencies that happen on the road.

Your car kit should include flashlights (& batteries), extra blanket, non perishable foods, tools, napkins/paper towels/towel, flares & anything else you feel would be relevant.

The first aid kit in your car should stand alone outside of your car kit.

So if you have a car kit, just check it out & make sure everything is updated. If you don't have one, start making a list of things you need to get one going!

We'll check in later tonight.

Good luck!

30 Day Preparedness Challenge: Day 20

Happy Easter!

In todays challenge, take a picture of your BOB and post it in the comments section on our Facebook or tweet it to us on Twitter.

You can keep the contents inside if you wish, or you can take some our or all of the contents, completely up to you.

Have fun!

30 Day Preparedness Challenge: Day 18

How aware of your surroundings are you?

There are few people that are aware of their surrounds 100% of the time & that's normal!

But today, try to be more aware of your surroundings than you've ever been. Look at people, objects, find the nearest exists, understand where the evacuations routes are, be aware of weather changes, etc.

There's so much for us to be aware of around us. Just take an extra look around today.

We'll touch base tonight about how ya did.
