  • When we talk about preparedness, what are we talking about? What is it that we need to be prepared for?
  • What steps should people be taking during the prepareathon in order to make themselves more ready for emergency situations?
  • What should individuals look for when they are making their preparedness kits?
  • When talking about these kits, do they need to be portable? What if you have to go somewhere? How should we be storing this stuff?
  • Should we be doing different things to prepare at home versus at work? Should we have a go bag at work also?
  • Can you tell me a little bit about the importance of September being National Preparedness Month?
  • If there were just one thing that you wished everyone would do to be a little more prepared, what would it be?
