Emergency Preparedness Journey Week 8

I said this in the introduction to this challenge / Journey, but it bears repeating:

Choose one thing from the list. You are welcome to do more if you like; but this is not intended to burden your time, and resources.  Each week we will offer a new list of steps Do that which will benefit your household best. If you do anything at all, you will be better off for it. This journey is asynchronous so you can begin this journey anytime throughout the year.  In fact I first invited people to join the journey mid February.  I recommend starting at the beginning,  No need to play catch up.  You can start by checking out the “challenge” introduction or jump in at Week One
