CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO
Elven Marie Johnson #745!!
I am sure you have all heard that the world will be ending this year… though I do have my doubts 
But, would if there were to be something? Are you prepared for that? Are you prepared for an emergency, if one should happen? Emergencies can happen at ANY time and at ANY place, will you be prepared?
This year for me and my family, we are focusing on our food storage. Every time I go to the store I put an extra couple cans of something in my cart. I am building our food storage slowly, but I am doing it. That will be a huge thing to mark off my “to-do list”.
But, like I said, emergencies happen ANYWHERE. Would if you were out and about and something happened? Do you have an emergency kit of some sort with you in your vehicle? If not, you should. Me and my hubby always keep extra clothes, blankets, snacks, water, flashlight, flares and things like that in each vehicle that we have. That way if there is an emergency, we can find some kind of comfort in our vehicle, if need be.
To help you prepare for an emergency, I would love for you all to take the Emergency Readiness Challenge. This is an online emergency simulation that forces you to make quick decisions at every turn. The Readiness Challenge will also guide you to the My Meeting Place Facebook Application and other resources, to help get you started in your emergency plans.
I was recently sent an OEM Emergency Go- Kit Bag to review. This is a very nice emergency kit. First of all the bag is awesome. My hubby loves that bag! It is strong, durable and is the perfect size for all your emergency necessities. The bag includes: Go-Kit bag, pocket radio, flashlight, first aid kit, batteries, worker’s gloves, light sticks, emergency blankets, and more! ($50 value) Everything in that bag is so important. Everything is ready to go, and we have this kit in one of our cars.
The OEM website has so much information on it for emergencies, I really thing everyone should check it out. You can never learn too much. And definitely take that Readiness Challenge and download the My Meeting Place App.

One person is going to win a Go-Kit Bag to help prepare them for an emergency!

emergency food/water kit and a generator
We live in Florida so we always keep plenty of water & canned foods in the house
Living in Northern Maine for 5 years taught us you can never have enough “emergency” items on hand. Power going out became normal. I always have non perishables and plenty of water on hand.
I have my cell phone in the car, but other than that, no emergency kit! so this would be great
I need to!
I took the test but it didn’t give the option for having a pre-planned meeting place. My family has this already planned. We also have Items already packed and kept in the cars.
I use to live in the Midwest and learned quickly to always pack your vehicle with an emergency box containing food, water, can, candle, matches, blanket and other emergency items.
I have several things but am sure there are things I’m missing.
I am going to stock up on water and food.
I live in NYC and I have an emergency lighting plugged in in two separate outlets, on in my kitchen and on in the hallway that will turn on if the power goes out.
I been looking for the perfect emergency kit! Please pick me! I would put it to use!
We just lost power for 3 days. We had candles but not enough for that many days and discovered that our flashlights were not working well enough. It was an eye-opener. That said, we did have firewood and a fireplace for heat, plenty of food and water plus cash.
We have a woodstove and a few oil lamps, so we’d do okay during a power outage. I would like to have some extra food stored away.
My hubby has started putting a kit together. This kit would e a fantastic addition and great to grab and go.
We have stocked up on batteries, flashlights, and candles.
We stocked up on salt and non-perishable food.

We shouldn’t be having any storms here until Hurricane season. We always make sure we have plenty of water and canned goods, candles, charcoal, propane tank, batteries etc during hurricane season just in case one actually hits here.
I am packing a winter bag to keep in my car in case I get caught in a storm. Warm socks and mittens, boots, granolla bars, blanket.
We have a large stock of canned goods including canned meats,protein bars etc., lots of extra water, blankets, a wind-up lantern, weather radio with extra batteries, first aid supplies, extra medications… the only thing I worry about is what I would do with my African Grey Parrot. She is not able to handle being without heat.

I’ve been stocking up on non-perishable foods for us and dog food for my pups.
No, I’m not very prepare, but should be because we live in an disaster prone area. A few years ago, we had to evacuate due to multiple fires here in San Diego County & my nephew’s apartment building was destroyed. He lost everything he didn’t have on/with him. We also have earthquakes, which we should be prepared for, but I tend to think there are other more areas that are more prone to large earthquakes. However, it could happen here as well.
My family has a plan for major disasters and have a meeting place in case of fires.
Took the ready challenge and learned alot of new things that I should do differently. It’s sad to say but my family would not be ready for any emergency. This challenge really makes you wake up!
I found out I need to pack an Emergency Readiness Bag.
We aren’t ready. We need to have supplies ready in a certain spot, plans for meeting/contacting each other, and a designated spot. I think the most important thing we need is a tub or bag of essentials like water, food, batteries, medical supplies, blankets, flashlights, etc..
Keeping a shovel in my car!
I’m going to make a plan including a pre-packed emergency bag ヅ *Thanks* for the giveaway!
