July's Challenge: I dare you to take it on the go

• Make plans with your family on what to do when you are separated and emergency strikes.  Come up with several scenarios and review your plans at least once this month.  Visit www.ready.gov for some tips and tools on making a plan.

• Prepare small emergency kits for your car, work, school, or other places you and your family spend time.  Start first with water and snacks for this month's challenge.  Also think about adding blankets, a flashlight, and an emergency radio as you are able.
