Clothing is an extension of our home, and act as shelter.

Three hours without shelter and you can die.

The right clothing helps protect you from the elements and other things that can harm you.

What makes clothing important to us is the fact that cloths are your first line of defense.

Our clothing is able to directly shield and protect us from the elements. Keep us warm by trapping our body heat. Helps keep you cool by wicking moisture to evaporate.

Keeping the flying critters and bugs at bay. And preventing burn injuries from flash fires.

FUDP Conversation with Dr. Jody Carrington

This conversation with Dr. Jody Carrington was released in May 2021, as part of the Conversations On Family Urban Disaster Planning summit.

In the past 15 years Dr. Jody Carrington has assessed, treated, educated and empowered some of our most vulnerable and precious souls on the planet. She is a child psychologist by trade, but Jody rarely treats kids.

The answer lies, she believes, in the people who hold them. Especially when kids have experienced trauma, that’s when they need big people the most.

Some of her favorites include educators, parents, first responders, and foster parents. Jody has shifted the way they think and feel about the holy work that they do.

Her first book, Kids These Days: A Game Plan for (Re)Connecting with those we Teach, Lead & Love, came out in 2019 and sold 20,000 copies in just three months. It is now on Amazon’s Best Sellers List.

During a natural disaster or emergency, one of three things will happen.

Number one, you will be able to shelter in your home, ride out the event until its conclusion, and then come out to determine damages and recovery needs.

Number two, you will need to evacuate immediately because your home is not safe due to the nature of the emergency or disaster.

Number three, you will be sheltering at home and find that your home is no longer safe, and you must evacuate immediately.

I today we are halfway through the first month of the year 2022, that’s right we are halfway through January 2022 and my mission right at the moment is to carry on with house fire safety.

House fire safety, the number one preventable disaster that strikes the most people in the United States and kills more people than all natural disasters combined.

Now I do know based on research information we can find readily and freely available that the number one disaster that affects more people are house fires.

That’s right house fires. Did you know that more people die every year by house fires than all natural disasters combined?

Now somewhere around here there’s a link to the don’t burn your house down training that will walk you through a process to go over with your family.

You can identify the things that need to be done, develop and build an evacuation plan for your house and put it in action. You can do it all within a week engage everybody in the household with the subject and the project because they’re all going to be affected by it and you’ll be comfortable and confident knowing that you’ve done the best thing you can to prevent a house fire and to protect your loved ones in their sleep from a fire.
