Spent two days in Disaster preparedness for chaplains at our local hospital. Two days of envisioning fires, earthquakes, epidemics, floods, plane crashes, terrorists attacks, various ways of becoming homeless, starve, be ill. It was all so exhausting.

One story came out of the San Diego fires and evacuation of a million people. They had shelters, food, water, cots, medical care. They handed out bags of food. What no one remembered to take when they fled their homes, was a can opener to get to the food.

So remember to put in your car today, now, a can opener so if you have to evacuate in a hurry, you can open the donated food.

Now I feel like I have started training to do chaplain work in a disaster situation at the hospital.
