The goal of my "It's Fun To Be Prepared" program is to provide an new and unique way of educating families on how to be prepared in the event of an emergency or disaster. As a member of the Emergency Management profession at one of the largest family entertainment venues, I began to look for better ways of communicating the message of emergency preparedness, especially in the home.

When I thought back to my childhood, I can remember when my neighborhood friends and I would collect money throughout our small city for charity. The one thing that struck me was how Mom, Dad and the family members supported and helped our efforts. So taking my boyhood experiences and combining it with emergency preparedness I came up with this great new program.

It originally started with a calendar and then a book. It now has grown into this great well themed program.
