***** The Rule of 3's *****
In an emergency or disaster, there can be very little time to act or to prepare. You want to have your "ducks in a row" before something bad happens. What is your reaction going to be when you hear authorities banging on your door at 3 a.m. telling you to evacuate because of a toxic leak in the area? What will you grab in the 5 minutes you have? If you prepared ahead of time, your dilemma is already lessened. If this happened in the dead of winter on icy roads where would you go? What if this was caused by a severe storm and conditions are still hazardous? It takes takes about:
- 3 seconds to recognize an emergency situation
- 3 minutes to run out of air or die from hemorrhage
- 3 hours without shelter to succumb to a harsh environment
- 3 days to die of dehydration
- 3 weeks to starve
Are YOU ready to tackle an emergency or disaster at this exact moment? If not, then let us help you to keep you and your loved ones safe.
