A Kid’s Wilderness Survival Primer

Looking up, you notice that the light is growing dimmer and realize you better hurry back to camp before anyone starts to worry. Brushing yourself off and nodding goodbye to the playful squirrels who scatter with your movement, you start off. Suddenly you stop and realize you don’t recognize where you are.

Hurricane Survival Guide for Small Businesses

Hurricane Andrew struck South Florida on Monday August 24, 1992, just before 5:00 a.m. With winds exceeding 140 miles per hour and gusts of more than 175 miles per hour, devastating damage was inevitable. In the aftermath of the storm many residents found themselves not only homeless, but unemployed. About 90 percent of the businesses located in South Dade were significantly damaged or destroyed. Many of these businesses were small businesses that typically do not carry enough insurance to cover property damage and business interruption. Due to this and many other factors, small businesses have a difficult time recovering from natural disasters such as hurricanes.

Emergency Preparedness Guidebook

Disasters or emergencies can occur in many forms, anywhere and at anytime. Floods, tornadoes and chemical spills can strike any community, including ours. If you’re unprepared for a disaster, it can shatter your life. If you are prepared, you can be a survivor - not a victim. Victims believe that major disasters occur in someone else’s neighbourhood. Victims don’t plan for emergencies. So when disaster strikes, victims are overwhelmed by stress, trauma and injury. Survivors expect the unexpected and plan for it. They know what to do in a crisis. When disaster strikes, survivors are in better control and get back on their feet quickly. Many communities are not equipped to handle all the demands of a disaster. Help your community by preparing yourself. Be prepared: Make sure everyone in your family knows what to do before, during and after an emergency. Set up a family meeting this week to discuss how you can best prepare for an emergency. Don’t be partners with panic. Have a plan.

Emergency Preparedness

Disaster can strike at any time. Planning will reduce the harsh impact of hazards. Following a disaster, emergency response officials will be on the scene, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. Therefore, it is important you create a disaster preparedness plan. This plan will be a powerful tool during an emergency - it will provide you with greater control, and thus reduce the stress of the situation, while saving lives and reducing the cost related to disasters.
