We have all heard about emergency planning and we all know we should have an emergency kit with food, water, medicines and other additional items to sustain us until help arrives or the emergency is averted. But, I have discovered there is another step in emergency planning which should really be the first step, family emergency planning. So you ask, what’s the difference? There are thousands of people every day finding out the hard way. You see, if something bad should happen to a family member, say an accident or illness, causing hospitalization and the hospital calls you wanting pertinent information, are you prepared?
