Wendy Coulson, of State College, was sitting in a hospital attempting to help fill out paperwork for a friend who had been given morphine — it was slow goings.

When most hear the words “emergency preparedness” a large scale catastrophic event comes to mind; an earthquake, a tornado, the loss of the power grid, or even someone’s favorite doomsday scenario.

It’s becoming more self-sufficient through something as common as gardening being a huge help in the event of a job loss or helping out family members in times of need. The possible situations we can find ourselves in goes on and on.
