Be The Deodorant

There's nothing like riding ......

a crowded Subway in New York City on a hot and humid August day.

a crowded Metro Car in Moscow, Russia with all its odd smells.

being in a crowded street in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and smelling all the awful smells before a person even gets close to you.

having a creepy smelly Old Kuwaiti Guy sit on you at the Airport in Kuwait City, Kuwait.

being on a crowded bus in Wiesbaden, Germany with people who wear socks with their sandals but not deodorant.

being on a crowded Metro Car in Paris, France where you can only smell cologne and perfume instead of fresh air.

being in a crowded Trolleybus in Yaroslavl, Russia on a hot and humid Summer Day and having to push through so many people from the window to the door to leave.

I have experienced it all and much more.

In a world of Heat Waves and Bad Smells be the Deodorant.

Hurricane Prep

Hurricane Prep

Hurricanes are dangerous and can cause major damage because of storm surge, wind damage, and flooding. They can happen along any U.S. coast or in any territory in the Atlantic or Pacific oceans. Storm surge is historically the leading cause of hurricane-related deaths in the United States.

Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season: May 15-November 30.

Atlantic Hurricane Season: June 1-November 30.

Central Pacific Hurricane Season: June 1-November 30.

Prepare for Hurricanes: Know your Hurricane Risk Hurricanes are not just a coastal problem. Find out how rain, wind, water could happen where you live so you can start preparing now.

Make an Emergency Plan: Make sure everyone in your household knows and understands your hurricane plan. Discuss the latest Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance on Coronavirus (COVID-19) and how it may affect your hurricane planning. Don’t forget a plan for the office, kids’ daycare, and anywhere you frequent.

Gather Supplies: Have enough supplies for your household, include medication, disinfectant supplies, cloth face coverings, pet supplies in your go bag or car trunk.

Those with Disabilities: If you or anyone in your household is an individual with a disability identify if you may need additional help during an emergency.

Know your Evacuation Zone: You may have to evacuate quickly due to a hurricane. Learn your evacuation routes, practice with household, pets, and identify where you will stay.

Recognize Warnings and Alerts: Have several ways to receive alerts. Download the FEMA app and receive real-time alerts from the National Weather Service for up to five locations nationwide. Sign up for community alerts in your area and be aware of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA)- which requires no-sign up.

Review Important Documents: Make sure your insurance policies and personal documents like ID are up to date. Make copies and keep them in a secure password protected digital space.

Strengthen your Home: Declutter drains and gutters, bring in outside furniture, consider hurricane shutters.

Get Tech Ready: Keep your cell phone charged when you know a hurricane is in the forecast and purchase backup charging devices to power electronics.

Help your Neighborhood: Check with neighbors, senior adults, or those who may need additional help securing hurricane plans to see how you can be of assistance to others

Prepare your Business: Make sure your business has a continuity plan to continue operating when disaster strikes.

Stay Safe During a Hurricane: Stay Informed. Listen for emergency information and alerts.; If told to evacuate by local officials, do so immediately.

Dealing with the Weather: Determine how best to protect yourself from high winds and flooding. Take refuge in a designated storm shelter, or an interior room for high winds. If trapped in a building by flooding, go to the highest level of the building. Do not climb into a closed attic. You may become trapped by rising flood water. Do not walk, swim, or drive through flood waters. Turn Around. Don’t Drown! Just six inches of fast-moving water can knock you down, and one foot of moving water can sweep your vehicle away. Stay off bridges over fast-moving water.

Returning Home After a Hurricane: Listen to local officials for information and special instructions. Be careful during clean-up. Wear protective clothing and work with someone else. Do not touch electrical equipment if it is wet or if you are standing in water. If it is safe to do so, turn off electricity at the main breaker or fuse box to prevent electric shock. Avoid wading in flood water, which can contain dangerous debris. Underground or downed power lines can also electrically charge the water. Save phone calls for emergencies. Phone systems are often down or busy after a disaster. Use text messages or social media to communicate with family and friends. Document any property damage with photographs. Contact your insurance company for assistance.
