Do You Know?

Do you know:

How much water depth it takes to float your car off the road in a flood?

What to do if you are in your car and a tornado approaches?

Where to go if caught in a severe thunderstorm and lightning is striking around you?

What to do if you are in your home and family members begin to complain of headaches?

What to do if a pan of cooking oil catches fire on your stove and you don't have a fire extinguisher handy (shame on you!)?

What to do if a family member comes in from outside summer heat complaining of nausea and has skin that is hot to the touch?


You should know the answer to these things. They happen every day somewhere around us. And knowing the answers may save your life or the lives of those you love. If you read this blog you are on the internet, all the answers are there for you to find easily. I just don't want to give you the answers, I want to "teach you to fish" rather than handing you a fish dinner. Take a few minutes and find out how to help yourself and your family, it's far more rewarding than updating your social network.
