WORDS OF WISDOM | " …those who seek for the best kind of song and music ought not to seek for that which is pleasant, but for that which is true." | PLATO | | Good morning!

Imagine this scenario: You have just arrived home from work. You sit down to watch the news and see that a massive storm with torrential rains is heading your way. The authorities advise everyone to stay indoors and off the roads for the next 72 hours because of high winds and the risk of flooding. Situations like these occur more frequently than most people realize. While no one likes pondering worst-case scenarios, advance preparation can save your life—and significantly ease your stress during emergencies.
