N – Needed 4:
Your FERPS plans should not be a bystander to life placed on the what-if’s shelf, but front and center of prudent planning for the when not if. There are so many stories with witness statements, “I’ve never seen anything like it…I never thought this could happen here…”

In just one sample a study conducted by Jeff Bethel, PhD, Associate Professor of the University of Oregon, College of Public Health and Human Sciences in an assessment of disaster preparedness among households in Corvallis, Oregon (2017), the following where conclusions. 

Conclusions

• Nearly 60% of households felt well-prepared (15.8%) or somewhat prepared (43.7%).

• Less than 60% had supplies of food or water or a communications plan respectively.

• Households renting the home were less prepared than households owning the home.

Over half of households will not be ready and the odds increase for those in renting.

Will you allow your family to be a stuck in misery?
