Preparing For Disaster. Diabetic Preparedness Key To Survival This Season
When Hurricane Katrina struck last August, people with diabetes faced particular challenges, especially those using insulin. More than 20 million people in America have diabetes, and many others suffer with other chronic health conditions.
During this year’s hurricane and tornado season, Eli Lilly and Company, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of insulin, suggests that individuals with diabetes or any other chronic illness should follow the guidelines below, no matter where you live:
• Medicine and supplies should be stored in a defined location to be easily gathered if you must quickly evacuate home or work.
• Keep cool packs in your freezer to keep medicine cool.
• Compile an easy-to-reach kit including:
• Medical supplies: syringes, cotton balls, tissues, swabs, blood glucose testing strips, blood glucose meter, lancing device and lancets, urine ketone testing strips, items for your therapy and blood sugar monitoring
• An empty hard plastic bottle to dispose of syringes and lancets
• Cooler for insulin
• Pen and notebook
• Glasses
• Copies of prescriptions, insurance cards, medical information and contact list, including caregiver’s and physicians’ names and phone numbers
• Physician’s orders for your child’s care on file at school and in your disaster kit
• Glucagon emergency kit and fast-acting carbohydrate (glucose tablets, orange juice)
• Nonperishable food such as granola bars and water
• First-aid kit, flashlight, whistle, matches, candles, radio with batteries, work gloves
• Supplies for at least a week
• Something containing sugar in case you develop low blood sugar.
“No one can fully anticipate a natural disaster, but with preparation, people with diabetes can manage their disease,” said Dr. Sherry Martin, medical advisor, Eli Lilly and Company. “Taking the time to prepare could make a huge difference in an emergency.”
If disaster strikes, remember to:
• Maintain meal plan, keep hydrated.
• Monitor blood sugar and record numbers.
• Wear shoes and examine feet often. If a foot wound develops, seek medical attention immediately.
• If relocated, call your doctors as soon as possible to maintain the continuity of your medical care.
• Parents of children with diabetes should identify which school staff members will assist children in an emergency.
• If you are displaced, identify yourself immediately as a person with diabetes so authorities can provide medical care.

Save Your Sanity This Season With Holiday Storage
With everyone in your family running in different directions, the holidays can get extremely stressful. On top of that, as the presents start to pile, your home may become more and more cluttered. If you do not stay on top of the mess, you may be climbing over piles and tripping over trash just to move from room to room by New Year’s Day. The secret to saving your sanity this holiday season is storage. The following tips and tricks can help you better organize your home this holiday season.
First, make sure that you do not allow Christmas gifts to pile up under the tree. If you have children, this can especially be a problem, as they may receive gifts at school, scouts, and even church. It is more than fine to keep your wrapped, waiting presents under the tree, but once they are opened, do not use the tree skirt as a place of storage. In the days following Christmas, find a permanent home for the items you and your family members have received. Avoid piles of gifts just because you do not know what to do with them right now.
Remember, you can find space to store toys, clothing, and other items, even when you think there is no more room. For example, there are storage containers that slide easily under the bed. These can hold shoes, wrapping paper, summer clothing, and toys that your children do not play with often. You can also find shelving units that fit in tight locations, like between the washer and dryer or along the wall in a tight garage. Make use of the space you did not know you had!
During the holiday season, you may also have extra food to store. Neighbors may drop off cookies, you may find yourself cookies for dinner parties, and there are usually enough leftovers from Christmas Day to feed your household for the rest of the week. Do not overlook storage issues in your refrigerator. When you just start storing things in an unorganized fashion, you are creating three problems. First, you are wasting money because you might double purchase items that you cannot locate, which is actually quite common. Things may get shoved in the back of the shelves and drawers. Another problem is that you are wasting food. You might forget about that piece of pie hiding behind the milk, and by the time you find it again, you have to throw it away. Lastly, you may be wasting energy. If you do not know where things are in your fridge, the door may be open longer while you are trying to locate the item. By investing in some rolling shelves, you can really cut back on food storage problems.
Around Christmas, the bathroom is another place that becomes cluttered and difficult to manage without a storage plan. During the holidays, you may be going out to parties and events. Do not come home to bathroom counters covered with makeup, hair products, and other toiletries. Instead, invest in storage units for the walls, which can hold curling irons, blow dryers, and other hair tools. You can also pick up some drawer storage units specifically made to organize your cosmetic products. Your counters should now be clear, and as an added bonus, it can take you less time to get ready because you may be able to find the hair and face items you need quickly and easily.
After the holidays is when the real storage nightmare begins, especially if you love to decorate your house. Remember, you do not have to store away your Christmas items all at once. In fact, if you decorate using items featuring snowmen, these can stay up until the end of winter! As far as your Santa Clauses and reindeer go, the key is to store these things carefully. You may likely move the boxes to storage areas, basements, or attics, so you want to protect your ornaments and other fragile item by using storage containers specifically made for them. In addition, because Christmas decorating often includes garlands and strings of lights, it is important to keep things wound tightly and tucked away. Otherwise, you may spend hours next year untangling your decorations!
The holiday season is one of the most joyous times of the year, but it can also be stressful. By staying as organized as possible, you can at least cut some of that stress from your life, which is important, especially if you have houseguests. This Christmas, invest a little time and money into proper storage and organization of all the items you love, this can help keep your decorations from being damaged during storage. If Santa is good to you, store away your items in their new location as soon as possible.

Hurricane Preparedness – Is Your Family Ready For The 2010 Hurricane Season?
Hurricanes in the past 10 years have wreaked havoc on the Americas. Disasters like hurricane Katrina, hurricane Ivan, hurricane Andrew, hurricane Dean, hurricane Charley and hurricane Rita have left a sense of desperation amongst us.
Besides boarding up our windows, stocking up on canned food goods and making sure the generator works what else can we do? Typically the next step would be to stay on top of the hurricane alerts. When a impeding hurricane threatens traditional knowledge is to be ready to evacuate quickly. If your family is prepared well enough, it may be possible to beat most of the traffic out of the affected area.
The downsides to that strategy are numerous. First off, many of the hurricane center threatening the Americas are of considerable size. This alone means that driving away from an affected area is a law of diminishing returns. A deadly hurricane may severely affect a dozen or more states. Not to mention the thousands of miles of beachside cities that surround our countries.
Thankfully today due to the work of Glen B. Stewart, the father of natural hurricane reduction. Through its visionary work in holistic health is discovered a way to diffuse a deadly hurricanes energies. This breakthrough in calming down and sometimes deadly force of nature is truly a godsend.
How is a hurricane redemption accomplished? As Glen would put it the toughest part is first believing that you actually can. Glen compares this phenomenon to a black belt trying to break a cinderblock with his bare hands. The first step for the Black belt would be to visualize himself already being successful in his accomplishment.
Like the Black belt example, developing the mindset and spiritual ability to manifest a hurricane reduction is an art. An art that progressively shows itís amazing abilities as the students continues to practice this unique gift.
How does a potential student learn the sacred art of hurricane reduction by manifestation? Glen B. Stewart recommends that a student start with learning to meditate. Meditation is a universal healer of the body, mind and spirit. Meditation also unifies a personís body, mind and spirit with the divine. As a student becomes more advanced and attuned to their developing spiritual connection, now is the time to learn One With The Winds training.
One With The Winds training is taught exclusively by its founder Glen B. Stewart. Is evolutionary training has already spared hundreds of millions of lives from deadly hurricane devastation. This remarkable training takes place via online hurricane reduction videos and audio workshops.
Once a student has signed up and become a registered member, they will receive new lessons every week to practice. This is necessary to further develop this critical life-saving ability. Like a white belt in self defense class, keeping it a rewarding learning adventure will serve to retain your passions.
Can anybody learn this promising form of hurricane preparedness? Yes. The healthier more focused, committed and more relaxed you are the better the manifestation will be. The amount of quality practice and how many years of experience you have also will play a role. The beauty of this hurricane preparation technique is that many people are contributing to this hurricane reduction. And clearly every little bit of positive focused intention is invaluable.
Remember during hurricane season and necessary part of hurricane preparation is to stay on top of hurricane warnings from the National Weather Service. I recommend the online service weather com. Bookmark that site and check it twice a week.
You can start by practicing hurricane reduction manifestations on violent thunderstorms. This will give you some practice on an actual event. Keep in mind thunderstorms hurricanes and other forces of nature are just massive balls of turbulent energy.
Glen B. Stewart has proven that these masses of energy can be peacefully dissolved. Currently his work is achieved an enviable 35 successful hurricane reductions in the past 5 years.

Hurricane Preparedness – What Steps Will Your Family Take To Be Safe From Hurricane Season 2010?
It is 2010 and we are faced with another potentially deadly hurricane season.
Bookmark the Weather Channel website and check it once a week to be aware of any upcoming hurricanes. Go to the hurricane forecast section and bookmark that page.
Prepare an itemized hurricane evacuation checklist. This can be invaluable because families typically are stressed out and somewhat hysterical when faced with evacuating their home. Critical items tend to get missed at this time. Imagine forgetting your cell phone. Many people forget their life-saving medications.
Put together a plan for all family members to meet at several possible safe locations. This is also very important. You or your wife may be away and the kids are at school for example. I recommend that you pick five possible hurricane shelter locations around your town or city. This way your entire family will be safe no matter where they are. This provides for the situation that one of your family members is unable to drive or be driven to you.
Consider purchasing extra cell phone batteries and a car charger. Many people overlook this because they will always be home that evening to recharge the battery. What if you were without power for 10 days? Numerous emergency situations may arise that would require emergency phone service. The kids could trip and fall on unseen obstacles underneath floodwaters and require an emergency rescue for example. A child may be stranded without a way of contacting you.
Perhaps the most promising approach to hurricane preparedness is to peacefully manifest a reduction in a hurricanes deadly force. I realize that this is a very forward thinking concept however it’s been proven over the past three years.
Glen B. Stewart the father of hurricane reduction has needless to say a life-saving alternative. Living in Florida, Glenn has experienced one too many mass evacuations and tens of thousands of destroyed lives. And so he attempted the absolutely unthinkable and unheard of. As a result, Glen was successful in reducing deadly hurricane Rita to a survivable event.
Hurricane Rita was a category five hurricane. The category five hurricane is one that has sustained winds of 165 miles an hour or over. The deadliest hurricane classification of them all. Rita was Glen’s toughest hurricane so far. For several reasons. The most significant reason is because hurricane Rita was the first he attempted to reduce. Also, it was less than 24 hours away from landfall. Lastly, it was already a category five hurricane.
Glen B. Stewart painstakingly researched and developed a more refined way to reduce the destructive forces of nature In the 5 years to follow. Today he offers an exclusive hurricane reduction training workshop online. This lifesaving technology is available to all citizens globally. This evolutionary hurricane reduction training is called the One With The Winds workshop.
