Expect The Best — Prepare For The Worst
As September is “National Preparedness Month” let’s all take a few moments to take stock of just what we would do when disaster strikes.
- Do you have an emergency escape plan from home and work? Have you practiced it?
- What about a “grab-and-go” kit? Is it updated?
- If your loved ones are not with you when disaster hits, will you know they are out of harm’s way?
- How will you care for your pets?
- Do you know how to best reach each of your loved ones to see if all are safe and report that you are?
These are just a few of many things to consider when preparing for a possible disaster. Various resources can be found on the internet, but since we are particularly susceptible to wildfires in San Diego, here are two sites I highly recommend you make time to review:

Be ready. It’s not a matter of if disaster will strike, but when.
