Today’s post is short and sweet I just wanted to go over two very basic things that most people forget about their emergency plan:

1. You need to practice it.

In an emergency situation you need to know exactly what you need to do without needing to think about it, if you haven’t practiced it you often forget what you need to do, and you don’t always have access to where you’ve written down your emergency plan.

2. You need to use and replenish your supplies regularly.

Most emergency supplies expire after so many months, so this means that you need to regularly check and make sure that your emergency supplies have not expired yet and replace any that have. I threw away to not waste any of the supplies during those times when you don’t have an emergency is to replace them in your emergency kits before they expire so that you can still use them (i.e. use them on a camping trip).
