If It Happens

If “the big one” does happen, stay calm. Keeping a clear head will help you make better decisions. Know that you’ve planned well, and bravely work your plan. And through it all, have hope. You will get through this.  That sense of normalcy is likely to return sooner than if you hadn’t taken steps to be more ready.

      —  Stay calm
      —  Be brave
      —  Have hope

(Note:  This mantra is paraphrased from a sermon given by Episcopal priest, Connie Jones.  Thanks, Connie!)

    Hi Jane,
    This is so cool! I have been through “a big one” and although it’s hard to stay calm, fear can really grip you if you don’t.
    My family and I have always tried to be prepared with 72-hour kits, a two-week supply of water, even a crank radio! It does help to stay calm when you know you’re prepared!
