“The holidays are a great time to give important, inexpensive gifts that say: ‘I care!’ and reduce risk exposure for friends and loved ones,” said Pennington. “Disaster-ready gifts can save lives and are a wonderful way of making 2005 a more disaster-resistant year for everyone.”
Emergency and preparedness items that might make great gifts this Holiday Season include:
# Pet Disaster Kits (food, water, leashes, dishes and carrying case or crate).
# A camp stove with extra fuel.
# an Uncle Samta
I’m reminded of disaster-preparedness advocated in the 60’s: in case of nuclear attack, put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye. mjh
