Announcing this message to, starting with, Curtin, Drain, Elkton, Yoncalla, Scottsburg, Oakland and surrounding rural areas. When mishaps occur, whether natural or unnatural, some folks get left high and dry, some don’t. Some run to the problem to offer their help to neighbors and even strangers. The difference in most all cases is preparedness. Do you want to secure your household for when something unexpected occurs? It’s hard to know what to be ready for, but this is the time to do some preliminary planning. Look around your home, property, pantry, and list what you need to sustain your household for an unknown period of time. Next, stock up in case the predicted 9.0 occurs or any disaster, weather or fire event or any calamity - world ending or not. Being alert to news, weather and crime/abduction news & information and knowing how to reach family members and neighbors is part of being prepared. More than a neighbor watch, let’s become Neighborhood Ready. Interested in forming a group for like minded preparedness, join us. Watch for future articles to, hopefully help folks be prepared and ready, maybe educate those looking to help themselves.
