Current real time events in BC and across the world require some reflection on our own individual emergency preparedness levels.  Have you completed the plan?  Remember, the first and most important question is to remind yourself that you are responsible for your own outcomes and the government is not coming to rescue you.  The first stage of disaster planning is to ensure you are "answering the right question" or "properly defining the problem".  Make sure your efforts are geared towards the actual issue / problem.  Second, do you have the necessary plan to address the basic animalistic requirements, for the planning horizon chosen by you, based upon your situation and responsibilities?  Have you considered the significant hazards in your area and included those on the DIR plan based on CI?  Finally, have you secured your primary, secondary and tertiary evacuation locations?  All of these and almost all preparedness requirements are free, nothing need be procured.  Think, think through the problem.  If equipment is needed, then make sure it is chosen because your plan requires it, not because some loud voice on YouTube or elsewhere told you it was one of the top 10 to stock up!  Get ready, winter is coming.
