Happy Emergency Preparedness Week, Gorgeouses! Did you know it’s Emergency Preparedness Week? Did you know there was such a thing?

Well, the (truly) lovely people at Public Safety Canada want to get the word out, so they’ve introduced Emergency Preparedness to me! And they’ve supplied me with an awesome kit so I can tell you all about it and offer a freebie to one lucky Canadian! Before getting to the big prize, though, let’s Public Safety Canada them have their say. Here’s a video that they are very proud of (and rightly so) — check it:

I’ve always thought about getting an emergency kit, about getting prepared in case of an emergency — because you just never know. And, since I have two children and three cats who depend on me, being prepared in case of an emergency is the responsible thing to do. And, now, I’m semi prepared. I have my water bottles…, and I have my new GORJ kit PLUS one more for one of YOU. Here’s what it looks like:

And here’s what the kit includes:

* Clear tube with shoulder strap;
* St. John’s Ambulance Compact First Aid Kit and facial tissues;
* Water (long shelf life);
* Flashlight;
* AM/FM radio;
* Four “AA” and four “AAA” batteries;
* 12-hour lightstick;
* N95 particulate respirator mask;
* Emergency thermal blanket;
* Emergency poncho;
* Biohazard waste bag;
* Sanitary gloves;
* Emergency whistle;
* Family communications plan.

The total value of the kit is $49.99. If you don’t win and want to purchase this particular kit, go to the St. John’s Ambulance Shopping site. Or, you can create  your own emergency kit with the help of Public Safety Canada’s kit checklist.

To WIN the kit, simply leave a comment below. Tell me how GORJ I am or something. I KID. Just tell us why you want a kit and if you’ve ever thought about this before — how ’bout that? The winner will be drawn at random and announced right here a week from today! You have till Tuesday, May 12, at 6pm to enter! Ready, set, GO!

LOVE!
