Past disasters from Hurricane Sandy to Fukushima nuclear disaster have proved that connected communities are more resilient. Of course, preparedness is about getting your supplies together. But it&#8217;s also about knowing your neighbors, lending a hand, and sharing your knowledge.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So Let&#8217;s Take Action. When we pool our skills, resources, and support systems, large tasks suddenly become more manageable. In the long run, this means we&#8217;re better prepared for a disaster. In the short run, we&#8217;re making our neighborhoods that much nicer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Your network is a wealth of skills and resources. Maybe your downstairs neighbor has a generator. Or the guy at the grocery store is pretty handy with tools. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re not an expert. Everyone has something to contribute.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For more info, please check out<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sf72.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.sf72.org\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is SF72?
