As I always say: “It’s the first time you don’t want to experience when it comes to something bad happening
to you in your life.” This is true. Think of a housefire, It’s the first one you don’t want to experience. An earthquake, a hurricane etc etc.
It is the first time you don’t want to experience. Now it’s not the actual; disaster itself you should be thinking about because that you can’t help, if it’s a natural disaster that is. So it’s not the disaster it’s the part of NOT being prepared that you don’t want to experience. Imagine for a moment your town or region of the country, get’s hit with a Blizzard, and you experience a power outage but yet you don’t have any batteries for your flashlight, or a generator that can run a small heater and light and tv. Or perhaps you take a road trip but yet you don’t have a spare or a jack or flares or a blanket etc.
Being Disaster Prepared means to be Prepared for anything. As the American Red Cross Says; Be Red Cross Ready.

Blizzard pummels Northeast United States AGAIN. Local business owners are being left out in the cold this past week as we get hit with back to back snow storms as this Nor’easter Blizzard continues it’s cycle of intense rage.
As the amount of snow dropped on this region increased, New Jersey officials had to take action by closing already known dangerous roads and highways.
