Unprepared

Irene, while not a huge concern for us at this moment because of how far inland we are, is actually catching us a bit unprepared.

Our 72hr food kits were cycled-out but never restocked. We *do* have two full flats of water, but we don't have any jugs of water (for cooking and hand-washing).

We still don't have full 72hr kits pulled together. We still haven't determined our evacuation meeting places or plans. We no longer have our out-of-state contact available; we had their office designated as our primary contact in the event of disasters or evacuations, but their position was just downsized.

We're low on fuel and on funds. Payday hits *after* the hurricane. Not likely we'll see the $3.499 prices next week.

We also didn't do our annual review of hurricanes. The plan was to revisit our hurricane studies each May before the season officially started 1 June. Part two of that plan was to reboot our emergency kits, etc as well.

Fail.

Hopefully this won't prove to be an epic fail. Think tomorrow will be spent attempting to remedy some of these, at least temporarily.
