Today's tip centers around the need to create, teach and test your emergency response plans. Whether it is for your business or your family. Everyone should be taught what to do before an event, so that the response is second nature, requiring little brain power. We want to be able to make quick decisions in stressful times and you can make that happen if you have a plan, teach the plan and repeatedly practice/drill the plan.

TIPS TO NAVIGATE THE HOLIDAYS DURING A PANDEMIC
24 Nov 2020
These are unprecedented times for sure! We have the ongoing spread of COVID-19 throughout the United States coupled with colder temperatures, significant pandemic fatigue and the Holidays upon us!
We need to remain vigil and do our best to mitigate the spread. Please consider holding your celebrations with only your immediate household or bring it outdoors. Just the other day, I learned about a family in Texas that had gathered for an indoor birthday party on November 1st. Afterwards, each of the twelve family members subsequently contracted COVID-19 and also spread it to three others not present at the birthday party. Luckily, no one lost their lives, however there are many other stories that did not end as well. So, please take a few minutes to review HT2's latest video below.
Stay safe and be thankful for your health and the health of your friends and family over the Holidays. Please let us know if you have created some creative ways to share the Holidays with loved ones, while staying safely apart. We would love to hear your stories.

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO PRACTICE!
23 Oct 2020
Here is our latest video in our preparedness series. In this video you will learn how to properly respond to an earthquake for inside your home and if you happen to be outside. One tip we didn't share in the video, since my 11-yr. old son was the demonstrator, was what to do if you are driving. Obviously, he is too young to drive, so I thought that would be a little odd to film.
Thus, I share the tip in writing here with you now. If you are driving and you feel the earthquake (which you may not or you might think your vehicle is misbehaving), pull over, avoiding objects that could fall upon you (overpasses, trees, power poles, etc.) and stay in your car until the shaking subsides. Afterwards, proceed cautiously, as the road may have been impacted by the shaking. Drive slowly and use caution. One more related tip, it is a good practice to keep at least a quarter of a tank in your vehicle's fuel tank, in the event it is unsafe to remain in the area and you are being told to evacuate.
Now you can check out to the video and let me know what you think. Please feel free to share with your friends and family and encourage them to schedule an earthquake drill and practice their response procedures.I’m a paragraph. Drag me to add paragraph to your block, write your own text and edit me.
