Thought this was a good thing to pass on...not you friday 5 but mine from another board. Info i think we all should have!

Are you prepared??

1. Do you have a winter emergency kit in case you loose power or heat??What is in it??

2. Do you have a first aid kit?? Have you updated or restocked it??

3. If you had to go to a friends if power is lost...what about your pets?? would they be ok??

4. Do you have any emergency kits for your car?? What is in it??

5. Do you know what to do if your car breaks down or is stick in the snow??

Bonus: Do you have a cell; a friend/family that know the route you drove;Will someone be looking for you if you do not arrive; Are you dressed for the weather??

A lot of question , I know...but here winter is a serious thing.

here are a few sites to help..maybe make an emergency book for your self that everyone can find and practice what you all should do!
