This is a good reminder that our citys and communities need to be ready for disasters. What FEMA found  lacking was that Dallas didn’t have basic information/lists required to function effectively.  Just like a family plan needs a list of phone numbers for emergencies, so does the city of Dallas. Remember that all disasters are the responsibility of the local government then state then federal agencies. But the first and most important issue is that we must be ready.  If a tornado hit I am not going to wait for officials to provide water, food and flashlights for my family.  I want to be able to cover our immediate needs, because when emergencies happen there are more needs than workers. It might be a good idea to find out how ready your community is for disasters.  I am confident about Grand Prairie and Plano because I have interacted with the teams.So just as we need to have our Emergency plan, lists, supplies in place so does every city and county in every state.   http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/dallas/City-of-Dallas-Fails-FEMA-Audit-223969951.html...

Shooting reminds us to be prepared in all seasons.

What a sad day it was for the shooting at the Naval Yard.  Having grown up in DC I am especially interested in anything that happens in that area.  My brother still lives, works and visits the Pentagon and other military agencies.  So when 9-11 occurred it we were all very tense until we made contact with him.  It’s ironic that this shooting occurred during  the National Emergency Preparedness month.  But somehow I don’t believe that the shooter or shooters even knew that. What this does remind us that we all need to be prepared at all times for all situations.  The folks in Boulder Colorado never expected to have such floods, nor did New Jersey expect Hurricane Sandy to change the shore forever.  Today, this week, this year has been a sober reminder that it maybe too late to be prepared but it is never too early to start.  It just takes a few minutes a day.  ...

Shout out to Amazing Prep2Bless Staff, NDCBF and Volunteers

What an amazing event we had this Sat. June 22 at NDCBF church in Plano.  It was a stellar day for Prep2Bless all thanks to the fantastic exhibitors, workshop leaders, speakers, volunteers and staff of North Dallas Community Bible Fellowship.  The breakout sessions were packed out as people learned how to build a 72 hr kit, How to survive a shooter, Food storage tips and over 20 different workshops.  You can check out the first video to see  see what you missed. The biggest comment we had was that the event was too short.  We agree but hope that next time we can go for a full day and that people will  bring their friends, family, neighbors and co-workers with them. We were so proud of the youth who assembled over 600 food kits for World Vision. These will be taken to Moore Oklahoma for families who are still dealing with the loss of their homes, resources and loved ones.  We also had a Youth Social Media Corps that was pushing the word out to the community about the workshops and information from vendors.  I will be posting some of their blogs up on this and the Facebook site this week. Thanks again to everyone who made this possible.  And in the motto of Prep2Bless, Preparing Today Blessing others Tomorrow.  We pray that you may never need the information you learn from Prep2Bless but; we can 100% guarantee, that in the future, there will be someone who needs help that you will be able to bless. And if you missed this event you can get information from the website to help you be prepared.  Look at the Get Started tab.  Oh, and don’t forget to check back to see when the next one will be the...

Colorado Fire Fighters Save House

This the most destructive fire outbreak in Colorado’s history . . .and it is still going. Over 400 homes have been destroyed in Colorado due to wildfires.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to those on the frontlines, fighting the fire and who are coping with the lost of their homes.  There are still many who have had to evacuate and are still in shelters. Thank heavens for those who are giving so freely to those in need.  This is truly one of the things that makes America such an amazing place to live.  Where else in the world are so many people willing to volunteer, serve and give to others.  It is our faith and freedom that allows us to give in this manner. This is an interesting video of how firefighters protect a home from an approaching wildfire.. and gives so good tips on proactive ways to protect your home from fire.   At Prep2Bless there will be Family Fire Safety and Prevention Session.  When was the last time you had a fire drill with your...

Emergency Prep Should Be Family First!

I think that we need to have a different approach to Emergency Prep. Instead of it being about hoarding, guns, isolation and beating of chests, I think that we need to think about families, communities, cooperation and mutual respect.  The early pioneers use to circle the wagon when they were under attack, so don’t we need to do the same.  The lone wagon was the most vulnerable to attack, not the wagon train. As we move forward into an uncertain future and times of crisis and emergencies, I want to link up with others who prefer teamwork instead of being the lone ranger.  There is a safety in numbers but also a security in community. This is why Prep2Bless is about families, youth, children, neighbors and communities. Prep2Bless believes that Emergency Preparedness is an essential and critical activity for the entire family and is dedicated to providing events that build bridges between generations, genders, races, cultures and denominations.  This is why we have training for the children and a special program for the youth.  It is never too early to learn to prepare but it could be too late. Prep2Bless invites you and your family to the free training at North Dallas Community Bible Fellowship on June 22 from 9- 12:30. Register Now. Here is a press release that will give you more details....
