Preparedness Challenge: Week 4

This is your challenge for January 20 through January 26.

See weeks 1-3, here. And if you need to find more information about the Grab and Go Emergency Notebook (the GAG), you can find it here and here.

Week 4:

Make copies of any passports you have, and place the copies in the GAG behind the Proof of Identification divider.

During your shopping this week, purchase extra:

Paper supplies, paper towels, plates, cups, Kleenex, toilet paper, napkins and utensils. Remember to buy the largest amount you can sensibly afford. Don't go into debt to become prepared. That is not the point.

Other tips: If you miss a week, skip to the next week. Don't get behind. Staying current will allow you to not become overwhelmed. Do what you can. Also, if you are not able to make purchases during a given week, make a note of the items not purchased and try to pick them up next year around. You have time.

However, the old adage is, "When the time of need arrives, the time for preparation is past".

The GAG sounds like a great idea (and a name, who could forget it?). Do you know how long a passport is good for? I don't have one, but if they don't expire for a long time they might be a good thing to have. Just curious.

I don't have a passport either, but Austin had to get one for his mission and it expires this year. He has had it since Oct. 98, so it has been valid for 10 years.
