5-Minute Message: Kits For Other People
We all have loved ones — friends, family members, clients we serve — for whom preparedness is not a reality. When it’s simply an inability to assemble the supplies, you can help. Start with the items that are free and unique to each person: personal contact information, medical needs, and personal preferences. Move up toward helping people to have this information on them in some way. For anyone unable to be fully responsible for their own preparedness, help build a circle of informed and prepared care-providers around them.
Start small, remember to think sustainable, not just attainable, and remember: helping the people we love to be prepared, is one of the most loving things you can do, and you are building your own capacity to remain calm and focused in an emergency.
