NY Times Article on Preparing for Disasters
This past weekend The New York Times published an article "Meeting Disaster With More Than a Wing and a Prayer" (7/19/08) that provides an overview of how to prepare for disasters, while also emphasizing that most people are not ready for such a possibility. The reporter confesses that she scored a very poor 2 out of 10 on a readiness quotient test. You can also take this test, developed by the Council for Excellence In Government, by clicking here.

I started this blog to share with others in the New York-metro area the products I've purchased and the things I've learned in my ongoing process of preparing for any natural or man-made disasters that may happen to us. I also hope to get feedback from those who read this blog and may have advice, tips, and products to recommend. You can also email me directly at: disasterreadynyc@gmail.com. Stay safe!
