Oh yeah -- be prepared.

Today, Sept., 21, 2005, we received notification here at the office that September is National Preparedness Month.

Yes, more than halfway through September, we have been informed that this entire month is devoted to being prepared. I’m not sure what we do about the first two weeks of the month, but it’s good to be aware that we should be prepared for the rest of it.

I’m pretty sure that had some big catastrophe occurred, say, on September 16th, I would be laughing my ass off right now because hey – we didn’t know we were supposed to be prepared until today! It was probably a way of saying “we forgot to tell you, but don’t forget to be prepared”.
But then, this office has an emergency preparedness manual hanging on the wall near one of the fire exits. So in the event of an emergency of some sort whether an evacuation, a bomb threat, or a nuclear attack, please feel free to thumb through it prior to your mad scramble out the door. As you head out to gather up your family, please be thinking about how we can continue to do business.
