Are you ready ?

As another record-breaking winter storm unfolded, it is a perfect time to consider your level of disaster readiness.  We all share the responsibility to be ready for any type of disaster that could affect us, our families, and our communities. The steps are quick and easy, and being ready can provide you with peace of mind. Go to www.ldr.org/ready, and get yourself and your family ready today!
 
It's also time to start planning for spring floods. Record snows this winter combined with an unusually wet autumn have forecasters calling for a serious threat of flooding this spring. If you live in a flood-prone area, you might be eligible for flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. These policies take 30 days from the date of purchase to take effect, which means that if you live in an area that could potentially flood, you should apply today. For more information, visit www.floodsmart.gov.
 
Most importantly, remember in your prayers all those who will be exposed to the snow, ice, wind, and cold in the coming days, especially those who are homeless and seeking shelter, and the first responders who will be serving anyone in need.
