We all  know that we should eat more fruits and vegetables. And, this is the time of year that we think about planting gardens. Ready or Not #252: Planning Ahead discusses growing, purchasing, and preserving your food.

So, where were you on Tuesday at 10:15 a.m.?  I hope that you were under a table or desk holding on for dear life while experiencing Utah’s The Great Shake Out’s imaginary earthquake. Ready or Not #251: Evaluating Your Resources shares my experience and what I learned.

I am really glad that Utah is having The Great Utah Shake Out (the statewide earthquake drill that is being held on Tuesday, April 17th at 10:15 a.m.) The news has been giving different emergency preparedness ideas. Most of them have been great. One or two concerns me a bit.

Ready or Not #250: Alternatives explains those concerns and gives alternative solutions to the situation. Read it — and get prepared!

Do you remember the song, “Shake, Rattle & Roll” written by Jesse Stone and made popular by Bill Haley & His Comets?  (I am dating myself now.)  “Shake, rattle and roll.  Shake, rattle and roll. Shake, rattle and roll,” and so the song goes.  (Try saying that without singing it in your head.)

Ready or Not #249: Shake, Rattle, and Roll explains what this has to do with preparedness. Make sure you read it!
