Happy September everyone! Our monthly challenge is going to center around disaster preparedness. There have been many disasters featured on the news, which makes us want to get things in order just in case disaster strikes closer to home. We will have 4 weeks of dedicated areas of our lives: family, car, house, and important documents.<\/p>\n

The challenge this week is to make sure your family is prepared for disaster, especially since kids are going back to school! Do you have a family plan- a meeting place if something happens and phone communication is down? Do you have a family code word for stranger safety? Do you have an illness plan for the upcoming flu season?<\/p>\n

Please make sure you talk with all members of your family to make sure everyone is on the same page and feels confident that if a disaster or illness happens, they are confident in the plan and how to stay safe.<\/p>\n
