We learned a lot at last week’s Feather Your Nest event with Safety and Security Pro and former Secret Service Special Agent James Savage. He was fascinating! I walked away from the event feeling safer and stronger than ever before thanks to his wonderful advice and tips.
One of the things that really struck me is the importance of being prepared for something unexpected. The U.S. Government recommends that we all take time to put together a safety kit for our homes. Their list of recommendations can be found at www.Ready.gov. The list is wonderful but I must admit I went shopping to put our kit together and it was really hard to find some of the items and the price tag adds up really fast! I wish that I had known about these pre-prepared kits! They are easier and less expensive and take up a lot less room than the kit I put together! Just as Jim Savage recommended, I purchased one for my car and one for our home. To order yours, please call or email Natalie Miller at nmiller@iaedallas.com or 972-380-4234.
