Stress Relief in Emergency Preparedness

Stress Relief, Emergency Preparedness, Job Searches, Literacy



Work is physical, mental, or spiritual effort. It is a basic source of happiness, self-worth, and prosperity.
Remember the fable about the Grasshopper and the Ants? This is a great little story to tell your children about emergency preparedness.
As people become self-reliant, they are better prepared to endure adversities [and are] better able to care for others in need.
Seek to be self-reliant in 6 areas:
1. Education and literacy
2. Physical health
3. Employment
4. Home storage
5. Resource management
6. Spiritual, emotional, and social strength
