I like this because you don't have to do it all at once. I think I might try cutting it down a few weeks, but otherwise great way to get prepared.

This is doable for me. Sometimes these things overwelm me and I don't even try to do them. But this breaks it down for me. I know I can do this! Thanks so much.

a funny aside:....

I lived next door to the provincial emergency program (the ones who wrote that list) building in victoria several years ago. We had a freak blizzard and the wall of the PEP was quite high... the snow drifted onto their wall and snowed me in! I thought it ironic.....
