The only difference between adventure and disaster is preparedness.

A day to reflect...


Seven years have passed since the devastating attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Many of us can recall exactly what we were doing on that day and how we felt. Though time heals the wounds, we must remain vigilant about being prepared for whatever emergencies we may face, both natural and man-made. On this day of remembrance, take a moment not only to remember those that lost their lives in the attacks, but to assess your readiness to handle such an event in your life. Does your family have an emergency plan? Do your children know who to call if they can't reach you? Taking a small measure of preparatory action today can reassure you and your family that you can exert a measure of control even in the face of disastrous events.
