August 16, 2008 - Fishing hooks can be fashioned from almost any item made out of steel wire. Barbed wire fence, Springs, Etc. A single spiral of any small, steel spring can be fashioned into a hook. They are strong enough to do the job well. One spring can yield a dozen or more hooks. Spiral note books, toys, your car, broken electronics units. The sources are almost endless. Sharpen the tip on a file, stone, rock, then carefully bend it into shape.EP

August 9, 2008 - During floods or hurricanes you must do something when rain or flood waters get into your building. Its important to take steps to prevent any sort of mold growth from starting. CD

August 5, 2008 - Check your child’s school Web site or call the school office to request a copy of the school’s emergency plan. Keep a copy at home and work or other places where you spend a lot of your time and make sure the school’s plan is incorporated into your family’s emergency plan. Also, learn about the disaster plans at your workplace or other places where you and your family spend time. SG

August 5, 2008 - Go through your calendar now, and put a reminder on it for every six months to review your plan, update numbers, and check supplies to be sure nothing has expired, spoiled, or changed. Remember to practice your tornado, fire escape or other disaster plans. SG

August 4, 2008 - Pick a place to meet after a disaster. Designate two meeting places. Choose one near your home and the second place you choose needs to be outside your neighborhood. In the event that it is not safe to stay near or return to your home all family members should meet at the second location. SG.

August 4, 2008 - Take a moment to imagine that there is an emergency and you need to leave quickly. What are the best escape routes from your home? Find at least two ways out of your town or city. Now, write it down — you’ve got the beginning of a plan. SG
