Disaster never calls ahead of time before it comes knocking.
It will crash your party in the middle of the night, or catch up with you on the road. It can sneak up on you, out or indoors. It loves catching people in swimming pools and lakes.
And sometimes large scale tragedies occur, such as the all to recent fire that raged across Port MacMurray, or the huge blackout we had two winters ago all over Toronto and the GTA.
The only thing we can do is prepare and keep a cool head when it happens.
But what does it mean to be prepared, apart from taking a Red Cross CPR course?
If you really want to be ready for an emergency, just follow this short list of New Year Resolutions for 2017.
Prep a First Aid and Emergency Gear Kit
Get a first aid kit for emergencies only (separate from the every day one) and keep it fully stocked at all times. Put it in a small pack with a list of additional important survival items.
Those include a three day supply of water and non-perishable food, a flashlight plus spare batteries and/or solar charger, multi tool, copies of all important cards and documents (proof of address, traveling documents, insurance policies, birth certificates, etc.), extra cash, and a spare cellphone, fully charged.
