Being Healthy is Personal Preparedness
 
 
Well, it's that time of year once again. Christmas is approaching and we are all running around both physically and in our minds making sure we have everything taken care of for the holidays. Have you thought about taking care of yourself? Probably not. After Christmas, take some downtime for yourself. Do something fun and relaxing; maybe watch those old movies you've been wanting to watch while curled up in comfy clothes and a sipping a hot cup of cocoa, or maybe reconnect with family or an old friend. Or, if you're up for the challenge, maybe play some Wii games with your family.
 
     
 

Sometimes some of the best preparation we can have is in keeping ourselves healthy and connected to the those around us. In reconnecting with the special people in our lives, we may inadvertently be creating new resources that we can fall back on in the event of an emergency. It could also be an opportunity for you to educate someone new on emergency preparedness.

So, on December 26 after the hustle, bustle, and traveling from house to house making sure you have visited everyone in your family, plan a relaxing activity to release any tension and/or stress you may have suppressed on this "the most wonderful time of the year."

We at the Kings County Office of Emergency Management wish all of you
a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, and remember…
Be Responsible - Be Ready - Be Prepared!

 
 

Do your part for safety awareness by passing this information along to anyone you can think of who would benefit.

Be Responsible - Be Ready - Be Prepared!
