Daylight Savings – Time to Prepare!

April 2nd 2006, marks Daylight Savings Time - when most people in the United States will set their clocks forward by one hour. Encourage everyone in your circle of influence to attach preparedness actions to the twice yearly event of resetting clocks. Some simple actions to take:

• Check the charge in your fire extinguisher
• Check the batteries in your smoke detector and flashlights
• Check the expiration date on your water. If needed, cycle that water out: drink it and replace it
• Check the expiration date on your food as well. This is a good reason to store food that you’re willing to eat!
