Day 1: 30-Day Challenge

I’m running a 30-day challenge.

You have 15 minutes to leave your home. Could you do it?

Imagine you receive an evacuation warning. You have 15 minutes to get yourself and your family out.

You can’t take everything.

What do you grab?
o Important documents?
o Medications?
o Food?
o Water?
o Clothing?
o Emergency contacts?
o Pet supplies?
o Communication equipment?

Could you make those decisions quickly—or would you be running around the house trying to remember where everything is?

That’s what preparedness is really about.

It’s not just having supplies. It’s knowing what you have, where it is, and what to do when you need it.

That’s one reason I created the Living Ready Emergency Preparedness Binder.

Today, give yourself 15 minutes. Grab a timer and see what you would actually take. Then write down what you forgot.

That’s Day 1 of the Living Ready Challenge.
