I spent last evening with my daughter and a friend at Oakland County SkyWarn training put on by the National Weather Service. We learned about tornadoes and how to report bad weather and precipitation. It was interesting. They told us that this week is Weather Emergency Preparedness week and referred us to a website called www.ready.gov. I went to the website and it, in turn, reminded me of my days in the Army Reserve. In the mid-90s I was responsible for my unit's emergency readiness. A unique job in the military that got absolutely no respect prior to 9/11. No matter, I attacked the job with gusto and learned a lot. That got me thinking . . . what have I done for my business? So, we'll be working on that over the next few months at company meetings. Learning better how to deal with emergencies and learning CPR. Does your family and business have a plan? Just some food for thought.
