national preparedness month

9:52 pm on Sunday, September 26th, 2004

I did nothing whatsoever of value today.

Did you know September is National Preparedness Month? There’s a very helpful, government-sponsored website with printable instructions and graphics and everything. (For example, Step 3 of If There is a Biological Threat is “You will probably learn of the danger through an emergency radio or TV broadcast,” and features a useful illustration of a television, a radio, and a telephone, just to get everyone on the same page.) I picked up a brochure in Starbucks. It’s got a whole list of necessary stuff, you know, stuff you need to beat the terrorists. Moist towelettes are on the list. Also, a whistle.
