Preparedness isn’t about collecting gear, it’s about taking action. In this episode, we move beyond planning and focus on practical steps to secure your home and protect your family. We cover the non‑negotiable safety essentials every household should have, including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and NOAA weather radios. You’ll learn how to set up a safe room, build an effective emergency and trauma kit, and prepare for power outages. We also discuss staying warm without electricity and choosing safe backup heat options. Simple steps that turn preparation into real protection.
