Preparedness Challenge: Weeks 26, 27, and 28
I'm hoping you have been as busy as I have and didn't notice that I missed the last two weeks of the challenge. Sorry for the sidetrack, Ladies and Gentleman, hopefully after this Sunday I will get back on schedule. For now, here are the last three weeks of the Preparedness Challenge.
Weeks 26, 27, and 28
We are moving on in our binder to the Estate Planning section. For the combined weeks, make copies of your Wills and Trusts, your Power of Attorney papers, and your Funeral Instructions. Planning funeral instructions is something I will be doing myself. Believe me when I say that it is difficult to plan a funeral for someone when you are not sure exactly what they would have wanted. I plan to outline what I would like the funeral to be like, where I want to be buried, what I would like my headstone to look like, etc.
Food Storage
When shopping, try to purchase some extra water jugs, ready dinners (if you eat them) and canned goods.
When buying water for storage, don't forget bleach and other water purification options. I just recently learned that when you purify water with bleach, the ratio is 2 drops bleach to one gallon of water.
