Act ASAP

Sometimes we don’t think we need a plan and there are many times when a spur-of-the-moment thing is very enjoyable. But even though we might do something in the spur of the moment, subconsciously, deep down inside we have a plan.

It is usually terrific to have a plan of action when it comes to disaster management planning, business, or family.

A plan of action will help you do several things. One is it saves some time. You will not be running around like a chicken with your head cut off. Having a plan will save you energy because you’re not going to be frustrated by waste energy trying to figure out what you’re going to do. And believe it or not having a plan can help you save money.

Why is having a plan essential? Are you a leader in your family, a leader in your business, or your community? You are responsible for everything.

it is sometimes good to do things differently. Get outside, do something different, go have some fun make it a plan to enjoy yourself. Leaders accept responsibility for it all.

I’ve been pondering what I call the five-second question answer.

I remember a point when I was filled with hubris full of myself and knew everything. And people would ask me questions.

I would think, man, can’t you go online to look it up? It will take five seconds. I realized I was doing myself and them a severe disservice.

I realized that they probably do want an answer to a question, and they don’t know where to find it. So, they are asking the person they think will have the answer.

I discovered many years ago there are three basic reasons people don’t accomplish something.

1. One is they don’t know how to do what they want. They need an answer.

2. They are afraid of doing something wrong, and they need an answer to do it right.

3.  And three there seeking permission. Permit them to find the answer to do what they feel like they need to do and accomplish whatever their goal is.

What exactly is the other?

The word other can encompass many, many different things. It can be something different than what's expected, separate from what is expected, or opposite of what is expected,

The word "other" can cover many different things. When I think about others, I usually think about what other things I should be thinking about that I probably am not thinking about.

We can think of others as an extra can opener in our disaster management planning. Others can be the individuals needing specific assistance for help in the evacuation or response process.

Others can be finding out what other things can bite us.

We don't think about some things because they are not at the top of our minds. And that's normal. We are human. If we don't have it in front of us we will not be thinking about it.

When making or creating your emergency action plan or working on any other type of project, it's always good to have a little checkbox with the word other next to it.

Yesterday was a first for Emergency Action Planning. We participated in our first Business Expositions.

It was a fun, entertaining, and educational event. Several people were enrolled in the Emergency Action Planning process, made several connections, and had a great time until the liquid sunshine showed up.

Celebrate your wins. Let the world know you are doing something that matters and there are successes.

When building your emergency action plan, celebrate the accomplishments with your family and loved ones.

These celebrations will build momentum and drive more incredible achievements because of the visible, tangible proof of accomplishing the task.

Celebrating the wins draws the family closer together because of the shared responsibility of achievement.

Celebrate your wins. No matter how small. If not you, who?

Beware of disaster fraud.

Unfortunately, during the aftermath of the disaster, there will be an influx of con artists into the area wanting to take your money from you.

You should know some things about disaster fraud or consumer fraud in general.

For your education and entertainment, you can check out the interview that was done with Detective Daniel J. (DJ) Seals at this link: https://www.emergencyactionplanning.com/2021/12/22/fudp-conversation-with-detective-daniel-j-dj-seals/

Today I am reaching out to one of my connections in media because I would like to connect a friend who is putting together an event.

And I realized we all have connections that can create wonderful things if we let them.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/connection

I also realized we have people in our lives that we have not connected with for a very long time.

Grab that smart phone and reach out to those that have fell by the wayside. Ask them how they are doing, and what can you do to support them. You never know where that conversation will take you.

Disaster recovery can fall into two camps, personnel and business. For our proposes, we will discuss personnel recovery in this article.

Suppose you have questions on disaster/emergency recovery. Click this link, conduct a quick Disaster/Emergency Planning Assessment, and schedule a consult.

All things emergency management-related have a plan. I do not call it emergency management planning for nothing.

Having a plan will prevent panic, make it easier to recover, and instill confidence in your family.

But it will not prevent;

Death and injury

Property damage and loss

Economic crisis

Recrimination and social unrest

To recover from these events, you do need a plan.

While learning everything I can about protecting myself and my loved ones from emergencies and disasters, I have concluded that there are three terms we can use that will cover most disasters and protect us.

That is time distance and shielding.

Time simply means don’t be there at the same time that it, whatever the disaster or emergency is, happening is the timing issue.

Distance is having space between you and the event, so it won’t affect you. The farther away you are from the disaster or the emergency, the safer you will be from the disaster or emergency.

And shielding if you can’t get far away from it then place something between you and the hazard, so it will not affect you.

During my first tour of duty in the U.S. Army from 1972 to 1979 Post-Vietnam, the United States military actively prepared to conduct a nuclear, chemical, and biological war against the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe.

And that is where time distance and shielding come into play, when protecting an individual from nuclear radiation.

Time; The less time an individual is exposed to radiation, the less exposure you will receive and live longer.

Distance;  The farther away you are from the radiated area, the less exposure you will receive and the longer you will live.

And if you cannot spend time away from or distance yourself from radiation, you need shielding between you and the radiated area to prevent exposure so you can live longer.

I don’t know what tomorrow will bring. But keeping in mind three concepts of time, distance, and shielding are always good to know as limited safety factors protecting yourself from emergencies and disasters
