Channel your inner space heater safety dictator

Not going to lie, I have been looking forward to this weather. I love summer and wearing flip flops, but I got these recently…

I know!  Adorable, right? I couldn’t wait until we had highs in the 50’s so I could wear them along with my boot socks.  But with the boot weather also comes lows in the 40’s and 30’s, and I am not ready to turn on the heat yet. So, I plan to use one of these babies this weekend so we don’t freeze.  

Red Cross Staffers Chat – Top things to have in a kit

Red Cross staffers, Ginger, Crystal and Erin, talk about the top 9 things you should have in your survival kit.  (Apologies in advance to those of you who like Spam.)

Water – 3 gallons per person for 3 days

• Erin – Okay, so I am going to say this straight – that’s a lot of water.
• Ginger – Yeah it is, but you need this for everything from drinking to flushing toilets.
• Erin – Point taken. I could put it in a big rolling garbage can in my basement, I guess.
• Ginger – What if you need to get the heck out of your house?  How are you going to get that out? You can put a bunch of individuals waters in a backpack for each person in your house.
• Crystal – Okay so, little miss pansy, right here can’t carry around 3 gallons of water on her back.
• Ginger – Well you could do both… have individual ones and also some gallons in Erin’s rolling garbage can.
• Crystal – That’s a good idea.
• Erin – And I think it is a good idea for us to start taking you to the gym.
