                      I'm working on a disaster preparedness program for our town these days, and I found this great household checklist from the New York State Department of Health [http://www.health.state.ny.us/environmental/indoors/home_safe_home/safehome.htm]. I think it would be a great thing to incorporate into spring cleaning this year - it goes room by room, just like I do when I do heavy cleaning. While not everything applies to every house, there are some really good tips. Keep safe!
  XOXO, Libbie

                      Along these same lines, that site also has some great information on "weathering" floods, power outages, etc. The link for that brochure is: http://www.health.state.ny.us/publications/7064/index.htm . I just personally found these two checklists really good information. Not so much for a toxin-free "Home Safe Home," but for a "safe from events" type of safety.

                      Thanks Libbie, I especially like the weather one, we lose power alot around where I live.

                      Michele - so do we! I'm not sure if it's because we're really rural or if there's something wrong, but it never fails - at least a couple of times a year we lose power, not (yet!) for more than a few hours at a time.
  XOXO, Libbie

                      I wanted to bump this thread with the recent weather events going on around the country!
