Find your weak spots...

and after you find them actively and diligently work to solve them.  Now this should apply to everything, but i had a great example of this recently.  Don't ask me where it came from, but my 11 year old has asthma.  Now, its not the "dust, pollen, and smoke", i cant breathe, or daily meds asthma like on TV.  But according to the doctor he has a mild "illness induced asthma".  Meaning if he catches a real bad cold or flu it can bring on asthma like symptoms and respiratory issues.

Now this would be easy to ignore and say "well, if and if and if, we'll just take him to the doctor". Now sure its a rare occurrence, but the environment that would bring about an attack is exactly the environment we would be in if we had no power or had to evacuate this time of year.   How do i know this? Well, we had to take him to the doctor a week after the Boyscout camp outing weekend where we spent 3 days in tents in November. So, i say to myself "I've got to solve this".

Well, Asthmanefrin has now introduced small battery powered vaporizers that administer the same breathing treatment as the doctor or hospital.  If fact it was the doctor that told me about them.  I search every drug store in the area, and at 50 dollars, its not the cheapest thing, but this could be priceless in a crisis when no doctors are available.


Keeping your eyes open for common small problems that could be magnified into big problems in a crisis, then ACT!
