Monday, January 4, 2010, the Daily Hampshire Gazette featured an article about GivingPreparedness. The article is titled, “Emergency Gift Boxes Offered.” The article appeared on the front page of the Business section.
Northampton resident and emergency preparedness expert Jamie Caplan has launched GivingPreparedness.com to make it easy for people to give the gift of safety.
GivingPreparedness.com is an online store of emergency preparedness gift boxes for home, car and pets. The gift boxes contain emergency essentials that people need to keep their family and pets safe for the first 72 hours of an emergency, including items such as a pouch of water, food bars, first aid kits and emergency light sticks.
The gift boxes can be ordered by individuals and in bulk by businesses. GivingPreparedness.com also features Caplan’s blog, with emergency preparedness information and an email sign-up for a free family emergency plan.
Caplan, a 20-year emergency management veteran, consutlant for the Federal Emergency Management Agency and a mom, said she created GivingPreparedness.com to make it easy for busy families to take responsibility for themselves in getting and giving essential emergency supplies.
