Lunch and Learn

Every so often my employer offers these workshops called Lunch and Learn, where we come in on our lunch breaks and they feed us and provide some type of educational seminar. Some nutritional, some motivational. They are a pretty cool thing. This week in lieu of National Preparedness Month, we had a meeting entirely focused on emergency preparedness and creating a disaster plan. I learned a few nuggets worth sharing.

1. Understand your vulnerabilities and where you are at risk. They mentioned this in reference to physical preparation but it also applies to our financial preparation.
2. Dominoes now serves sandwiches... and they deliver! That is what we had for lunch in case you are curious.
3. Make copies of critical documents and store them in a disaster proof container or location. If something bad happens, the loss of those documents could be a disaster in and of itself.
4. Be practical about what you are storing. If you cannot or do not eat it regularly why store it.
5. In an emergency, you will still need meds. If you are on any type of a prescription medicaion and it is critical to your survival, do your best to build up at least a few week supply.
