Homeland Security Is In The News Again

I suppose you saw on television the other day the new TV program about the heroes of Homeland Security. And I suppose you also saw on the news that Mr. Bin Laden has put out another "encouraging word" to his followers to step up their ways to impress us with threats of annihilation.
Well, I want you to know that we have some literature for the public in our library from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. You might want to take a look at it. I did.
We have a booklet titled Preparing Makes Sense. Get Ready Now.
It tells how you can be prepared to make it on your own for at least three days, maybe longer, in the event we must survive a terrorist attack or other emergency. Just like having a working smoke detector, preparing for the unexpected makes sense.
The booklet gives you all kinds of information in emergency planning for specific terrorist threats, such as biological, nuclear, and radiation. It even tells about natural disasters.
There are also separate brochures about your Emergency Supply List, Preparing Your Pets for Emergencies, and Preparing for People with Disabilities and Special Needs.
You can find these booklets and brochures on the long counter in front of the Fiction Section. Just walk through the reading area to the counter and pick up the information that can help you with important disaster planning.
Preparing makes sense.
