I took this photo this past weekend of the tree leaves sprouting.
You may have heard of the recent Fort McMurray fire disaster in Northern Alberta, Canada. Residents had to flee their homes at a moment's notice. It made people think of emergency preparedness and of how most people aren't ready. I know I'm not, think: passports, clothes, money, prescriptions, food, emergency kit, a list, a plan. Here is an interesting article written by one family that had to evacuate Fort McMurray.
Maybe at the very least we should keep a list/plan.

Yes, it was an awful disaster, and we should be prepared, this is really true. Hugs, Valerie
Luckily we are one of the few countries that doesn't have to worry. Well apart from flooding but that's a slow emergency.
Two of my favourite wrestlers are actually putting together a fundraiser for the Fort McMurray victims. They've managed to raise a lot of money and the donations are being matched by the government. It's great to see everyone come together like that.
beautiful photo of the buds!
We are trying to make a preparedness plan, my husband has taken it more seriously lately,I think its something we should all do,
I am so glad I have front and back exits so I won't be stranded in case of a fire. I placed all of our important documents, passports, bank books, etc. in a Ziploc bag in our filing cabinet, so I can just grab it when I flee the house.
I wouldn't be either
What a gorgeous photograph. I'm definitely unprepared in case of emergency... It's something I should think on, thank you Christine.
I'm not ready either, Christine. It's something we just never think of.
I wrote a bout what you need before you dial 911, once. We often lose hydro, therefore water! A list is a good thing, though.
I need to look up the list on what you need. We used to be prepared better, but I think we've gotten quite lax lately.
I'll read that link, thanks.
I'm not ready either. Unless grab dogs and go, is ready.
