We have all seen or personally experienced natural disasters. Recently many have experienced more general trouble like job loss or reduction in wages. There are a variety of reasons that this as well as supply chain disturbances, shortages, panic buying, hoarding and price gauging may occur. I personally have always felt a need to be ‘ready’ for anything in general, even something as small as a work meeting, unanticipated layover, etc. Part of that I feel is being professional and an adult but bing organized also positively affects my mood, manages anxiety and allows me to be more productive. Everyone remembers emergency kits in the classroom at school, it is recommended to always have supplies in your car in case you break down, as well as at home in the event that utilities are turned off. People think it is alarmist or paranoid but things do happen, usually when you do not expect it, so it helps to always be prepared “just in case”. Wouldn’t you rather be ready than be completely caught off guard? This page will link to trusted resources and information to help you be better prepared for whatever may come in the future.
