SPOTLIGHT: Gig Harbor Home Management
 

 

Announcing the Launch of a 2013 Campaign

 

The Simply Prepared Challenge will encourage, support and enable individuals to prepare their homes and families for unexpected emergencies.

 

By offering simple and achievable steps during each month of 2013, Gig Harbor Home Management hopes to move individuals towards a basic level of preparedness while removing obstacles that often cause procrastination and discomfort.

 

Every month at www.SimplyPreparedHome.com there will be a Simple Step for homeowners and small business owners to take towards basic preparedness.  

Gig Harbor Home Management provides tailored lists, easy online shopping, products delivered to your door and even the option of having someone do it all for you.

 

Gig Harbor and local area families, seniors, small businesses, homeowners associations, and community organizations who don't feel fully prepared for an unexpected emergency can all benefit from joining this year-long campaign. "I believe that neighbors and communities are stronger, more resilient and safer when people are prepared for unexpected emergencies. By following this program, basic preparedness is achievable. We're here to make it simple for you."

 

Visit www.SimplyPreparedHome.com or call Sarah Friesen at 253.225.4864 for more information.
