Linda Richards supports National Preparedness Month

Linda Richards supports National Preparedness Month and encourages all of her clients, students and friends to annually consider how prepared they are for unexpected emergencies. September is the month chosen as the National Preparedness Month, to remind citizens to think about getting prepared as individuals, families and businesses.

I'm happy to say that my Organize and More professional organizing business has been a National Preparedness Month Coalition Member for several years.

Humor can do a great job motivating people and I think the video below might help you to check your emergency food supplies today! Think about what you would eat, if you had to depend on your kitchen pantry, during a natural or a man-made emergency. After watching the video clip below, check to see if you have more than tomato paste to eat. Read this list and start getting prepared today. Food for thought!!
