5-Minute Message: Set Clocks Forward and Move Forward With Being Prepared!
At 2:00AM, this coming Sunday, March 14th, most of the US will “Spring Forward” and set clocks ahead one hour. Be forward thinking in your preparedness, by taking on as many of the following as you can:
- Check and refresh your fire extinguishers, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
- Examine and cycle your food and water. Consume anything about to expire, and replenish your supplies.
- Check any stored medications; you can take expired prescriptions to your local pharmacy for safe disposal.
- Use that handy Sharpie marker to clearly mark the expiration dates on all of your supplies.
Tip: Use online reminder systems to nudge you to do these and other preparedness tasks, especially if your clocks automatically reset the time for you!
