The emergency preparedness page I did the previous week led directly to this one on how to assemble a disaster preparedness kit. The local folks at ReadyOC were quick to send me checklists, supplies for a photo shoot and information about a publicity event being held that day. I got several nice phone calls and emails about this one. One reader even suggested an idea to dig a little deeper on this topic, so stay tuned. June 7, 2013.
