Are You Ready For...

I’ve been busy updating some “go-bags” for my family, in case of an emergency evacuation for whatever reason. We live near a HUGE military Post and we also have several factories in the area that have had previous dangerous situations. And then there are tornadoes and other disastrous things that can happen without any warning. I think it’s important to be prepared to leave the area on a moment’s notice, just in case. I went online and researched what needs to be at the ready if you are warned to evacuate. It’s a long list of things, so I’m not going to list those things here, but I would encourage everyone else to be prepared. You can go online and be reminded of what you should have in your “go-bag.” A “go-bag” is a back-pack or other type of bag you can carry, that contains what you would need for three or four days, in case of a call to evacuate your area. Obviously, it would include non-perishable food, water and a change of clothes, but there are other important items that also need to be in the bag, like medicines and a first aid kit. Important papers, prescriptions and money need to be included. I am updating the “go-bags” I put together several months ago, one back-pack for each of the four of us in this household. A back pack is something that we can grab and go out the door quickly. You should also keep your gas tank full so that you can go at least 100 miles without stopping for gas. Gas stations will be swamped with people who don’t have that foresight. 2 Timothy 3:1 explains that we are “living in critical times, hard to deal with” and I certainly see lots of proof every day on the news, of what things are happening throughout the Earth today. We really don’t know what the next disaster will be and who it will affect. So be ready…
