Becoming a Prepper

We have had several close encounters with Mother Nature this week; earthquakes (a 7.8 and hundreds of aftershocks), tsunami alert, storms and flooding, high winds and a King tide.  Thank goodness for a sense of humor from emergency services staff - this is one of many 'emergency cutes' sent out to make people feel better.

Having to evacuate in the middle of the night makes you realise how prepared, or not, you really are for an emergency.  As of right now I'm better prepared that I was a week ago; go bag, stay box, some emergency camping gear and a cat carrier ready to go too.
