You know we're all about girl power (yes, I'm a Spice Girls fan) here at No Limits Ladies so when I heard about Jacqueline Lloyd's The Thief Of Sacred featuring a female President making the tough decisions (one job I wouldn't want to have), my ears perked up.
Then I read about Jacqueline being savvy on all things natural disaster related. Wow, I thought, that would be something every woman should know a bit (or more) about.
So blatantly abusing my blogger status, I contacted her and asked what we could do to prepare for a natural disaster.
"To best prepare for a natural disaster, people should be aware of the long-term history of their area, and be equally prepared for isolation or quarantine. Know what will happen to your school age children in the event you cannot get to them because of the disaster. For insurance
purposes, videotape your home and its contents and keep that DVD in a safe deposit box or at a faraway friend's house. That video could be worth a lot if you suffer damage and/or loss- being able to easily show what you had will not only help you create your insurance loss list easily, it can help convince the insurance company if there's a coverage or contents issue."
That is a brilliant idea. Videotaping the house. Much quicker than taking separate photographs (though for high value ideas, that might be a good idea too) or listing everything.
And having a plan in case we can't get to school age kids or elderly Moms is something I didn't even think of. I had assumed I would be able to get to them but what if that disaster separated us?
