The tornadoes that hit Greensburg and Reading, Kansas have been significant news stories in the last few years. Would you have been prepared to take action if you were in one of these situations?
Many people have installed smoke detectors, fire alarms, and dead bolt locks in their homes and stocked extra food in the pantry. To be financially prepared ahead of a disaster, create a household inventory, check your insurance coverage, and prepare a grab-and-go box.
With National Preparedness Month approaching in September, K-State Research & Extension invites you to participate in our Prepare Kansas Challenge. Throughout the month of September, complete activities to prepare your home or workplace ahead of a disaster.
Challenge activities will be announced each week via email and this blog. You will record your efforts online. To sign up, visit this website: bit.ly/1pwiiFE
I am excited to be a part of this challenge. I appreciate the time and effort that is going into this program to help us all to prepare financially for any disasters that may occur. I plan to pass this onto my daughter for future reference.
Thanks Joanne, we are excited about the Challenge too! Just under two weeks before it starts.
