Maintaining Financial Security Is Tougher Than Ever “We Can Help” • Specializing in tax strategies & preparation for individu- als, corporations, LLC’s, estates and trusts. • Business consulting including Quickbooks installation and training. Rod McCulloch Karla Holloway 3 A Independent, Professional Services (Not Influenced By Sales Of Financial Products) Holloway and Associates, LLC CPA’s 733 Highway 101, Florence • 997-3434 SOROPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL OF FLORENCE Presents: keep the cover object from moving away from you and to steady yourself. “Earthquakes may happen anywhere you live, work or travel,” said Althea Rizzo, geo- logic hazards program coordi- nator for Oregon’s Office of Emergency Management. “It’s important to practice ‘Drop, Cover and Hold On’ often so that you can respond quickly when an earthquake occurs. “You may only have seconds to protect yourself before strong shaking knocks you down or something falls on you.” Oregon’s Office of Emer- gency Management is launch- ing its “2 Weeks Ready” cam- paign, which recommends hav- ing enough food, water and other supplies to keep you and your family self-sufficient for two weeks. This lessens the strain on emergency responders who need to focus limited resources on injured and other vulnerable populations immediately fol- lowing a disaster. “For many years, we talked about the importance of being prepared for 72 hours,” said Rizzo. “This is a good start, and helpful in the event of short-term power outages or temporary evacuation. But a large earthquake and tsunami will leave much of the area’s transportation routes destroyed. “Oregonians will have to count on each other in the com- munity, in the workplace and at home in order to be safe until responders can reach them.” Being prepared to be self- sufficient for two weeks is an achievable goal. Many of the standard preparedness kit items such as flashlights, gloves, hand-crank radios, trash bags and a first-aid kit are already included in a 72-hour kit. Food and water are priori- ties. Plan for one gallon of water per person/pet per day. If you are a family of three, four or more members, that’s a lot of water. You need to think about how to store it, where to put it, and making sure it’s accessible when you need it. Consider large (5-gallon or more) containers, supplement- ed with smaller containers and what you have stored in ice cube trays and your water heater. Collapsible water con- tainers and water purifiers are also an option; there are many varieties on the market. Food is the other significant component when increasing your preparedness kit from 72 hours to two weeks. You might not be eating three meals each day but even at two meals per day, a family of four will need to have food to cover more than 100 meals over two weeks. Your refrigerator contains many items that can sustain you and your family for sever- al days. Then supplement or turn to items in your kit such as grains, beans, canned tuna and bulk nuts to provide protein and calories. Be sure to consider dried fruit, canned fruits and vegeta- bles and other items that are easily stored over long periods of time. A weekly calendar of ways to become 2 Weeks Ready will be updated regular- ly at www.facebook.com/2 WeeksReady. Think about it. Talk about it. Being prepared is not just having two weeks of food and water, but thinking about the many things you already do to make you better able to bounce back after a disaster. • Have a home evacuation plan and practice it with your family. Be familiar with evacu- ation routes out of work, school or other buildings you frequent. • Do you have backup trans- portation methods and routes? • Who will care for the kids, grandparents and pets if you are unable to get home for sev- eral hours? • Where will you meet your family? At school, at the local park, at the corner of the neighborhood? • Do you have an out of state contact? Have a conversation with your family and friends and have one person designat- ed to be the main contact for your group. • Know when how and when to shut off utilities, and basic elements of first aid and CPR.
