Risks All Around Us

This past week I had opportunity to spend 8 days in Coronado / San Diego on a business trip. A beautiful city with great weather year round. But while we were there the media was reporting three earthquakes in the area in the 4.0 and 4.1 range in a three day period.

While we didn't feel them, it was a stark reminder of the risks that we all face from one risk or another. It is not healthy to be paranoid, but it is important to be prepared.

Each person, family, organization and government should take time to identify the hazards in their area, evaluate the risks, determine if you can reduce or prevent risks, establish a plan and the resources to respond, and breath a little easier knowing that you will be better prepared.
