THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF EMERGENCIES OUT THERE THAT WE CAN PREPARE FOR.

TAKE A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE FOR EXAMPLE. YOU MAY LAUGH NOW, BUT

WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU’LL BE HAPPY YOU JOINED US, AND HEY, MAYBE YOU’LL EVEN LEARN A THING OR TWO ABOUT HOW TO

PREPARE FOR A REAL EMERGENCY.

What’s the deal with Zombies?

A recent national poll by Adelphi University Center for Health Innovation  surveyed 1,000 Americans about their personal preparedness behaviors and the results show that we’re not ready: More than half of Americans have not

prepared copies of crucial documents  48% of Americans lack emergency

supplies for use in the event of a disaster

42% of cell phone owners do not know all their immediate family members phone numbers

More than half of parents do not have a designated meeting place in case of a disaster

"If you are equipped to deal with a zombie apocalypse you will be prepared for a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake, or terrorist attack.“

So, we are going to ◦make a kit ◦make a plan ◦and be prepared!

Center for Disease Control:

Starting in November, we spend some time during each meeting discussing what is needed in our “disaster kit”

HOSA members can build kit at home and submit them for competition (Feb 2013)– winner will receive cash prize
