*The winners of the Blue Door Boutique Giveaway are…
Congratulations, Faith, Angela, and Dani! Just send me an email when you get a chance!
One of my favorite things about social media (Twitter, blogging, and Facebook) are the really wonderful people I’ve come in contact with that I otherwise wouldn’t know at all. Through blogging, I’ve gotten to know a friend who works for Beach Cities Health District.
The Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) is a health agency promoting community health and wellness, and it also funds lots of health and wellness programs for the local schools.
Agencies like this need awareness and we should all be following them on Facebook for information and updates. The BCHD has plenty of opportunities for you to volunteer if you’re in that area.
But they also have something that we could all use, no matter what part of the country we’re in. In 2011, we saw way too many natural disasters in the United States and so many of our friends and loved ones have suffered. Natural disasters, like earthquakes, tornadoes, and flooding, or manmade ones, like fire or explosions, happen without warning. Being prepared for emergencies can greatly lessen injury and loss of life or property.
The BCHD has a really great Emergency Preparedness Kit and we’re giving one away today on my blog. You can never be too prepared and this kit didn’t leave anything out!
The Beach Cities Health District Emergency Preparedness Kit includes: (a $42 value)
1 – Red Backpack
2 – Food bar packets (for three days, 4,800 total calories, five-year shelf life)
1 – Hygiene kit (tissues, towelettes, hazardous waste bags)
6 – Water boxes (50.7 ounces, five-year shelf-life
2 – Emergency blankets
1 – 33-piece medical kit
1 – First-aid, CPR and choking guide
1 – Flashlight with alkaline batteries
1 – 12-hour light stick
2 – Adult ponchos
1 – Whistle
