As we march forward from this time on ;
Have a plan A,B,C etcetera.
-Plan A You are home and there is an alert to stay put. Do you have a battery operated radio? Did you tell your children what to do?
-Plan B You are away from home and need to get back. Do you have an idea on how to reach loved ones? Do you have an alternate route home if there are roadblocks?
-Plan C You are away from home and have to temporarily shelter in place, do you have access to water, food, communications?
It is easy to feel complacent since we all have been on higher alert and in survival mode for a long time. That is a killer when it comes to real emergencies because we may have let our guard down.
Your family members especially children and elderly will be frightened.
Talk with them in as calm of a voice you can muster. If they see your fear, imagine what they will feel.
We have prepared, we are ready and now is the time to have your plan in place...

Right? Nearly 6 years been waiting for EBS. There's been many times I've wondered if the Q Op wasn't just designed to sideline Patriots and alienate us from our friends and families who all think we are crazy for being alert and prepared.
I am not warning my friends or family again.
Many of us have been the Boy that cried Wolf too many times.
No one would believe me anyway even if I did warn them.
