Power outages, fires, floods,
earthquakes, wind, and storms can interrupt utilities, phones, stores,
ATMs, and travel. These things occur when we are least prepared. Sometimes our loved ones are

suggestions is a good starting point. You can send things with next day
delivery. Note that some types of disasters will delay delivery.
