Ego should have no place, in the heart of man! Numquam Cedere -Never Surrender ***5 Year Active Duty Veteran- Operation Desert Fox.
As we march forward from this time on ;
Have a plan A,B,C etcetera.
-Plan A You are home and there is an alert to stay put. Do you have a battery operated radio? Did you tell your children what to do?
-Plan B You are away from home and need to get back. Do you have an idea on how to reach loved ones? Do you have an alternate route home if there are roadblocks?
-Plan C You are away from home and have to temporarily shelter in place, do you have access to water, food, communications?
It is easy to feel complacent since we all have been on higher alert and in survival mode for a long time. That is a killer when it comes to real emergencies because we may have let our guard down.
Your family members especially children and elderly will be frightened.
Talk with them in as calm of a voice you can muster. If they see your fear, imagine what they will feel.
We have prepared, we are ready and now is the time to have your plan in place...
This is all great as long as you have a family that is listening to you. But I am the "elderly" in the family and no one is listening to me. I'm the crazy old lady who wouldn't get vaxxed so I will have to trust in God to open doors for me when the time comes. I have managed to smuggle into the house a case of water, nonperishable food, extra batteries, extra candles, a first-aid kit and, of course, toilet paper lol. The rest I'll have to leave in God's hands.
