How do you protect you and your family from these common March disasters?  Most of these March disasters require that you should have a shelter in place plan.  It is the easiest, lowest-cost, and simplest plan to implement.  The second option is to have an evacuation plan in place.  This would apply to such disasters as described in the critical vendor disaster examples.  We encourage you to check out the valuable information on our website to learn how to create these two plans.   We also have tiny courses that you can complete in 15-20 minutes that show you how to create these plans in detail, step-by-step.  As our website says, “Stay safe – be prepared!”  Lives are at stake!
