Money is great but you can't buy your health- It's only something you can protect.

As I talk about neighborhood preparedness this subject about the difficulty of knowing your neighbors today is continually being brought up as a roadblock. I am excited to have some new ideas to share with the audience on how to know your neighbors and get them prepared. I am so happy to see this article.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina the spread of hepatitis A, cholera, tuberculosis, and typhoid fever was high, all in relation to the contamination of food and drinking water supplies in the city. Being prepared with adequate emergency hygiene and sanitation items are essential. In many natural disasters more damage to human lives are done after the actual event occurs.

The majority of it residents are elderly averaging by my guess 74yrs up to 90yrs plus. Many have mobility issues or otherwise infirm also there are many that don't speak English. I have concerns for many here in the event of a great emergency event. I recently set up an Emergency Preparedness Presentation through the American Red Cross, but don't feel that this is adequate.
