<div class=MsoNormal style="font-size:12pt;"><B><FONT size=5 face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">With the two recent storms, many of us have learned a thing or two about how to prepare for and stay safe when the power is out for several days. In collaboration with Steve Thal, who tirelessly works to educate first responders and towns on how to assist people with disabilities in emergency situations, we would like to put together a short tip sheet to send out to our constituency and to put on our website. The tip sheet would include a section on what to have in your home for those “just in case†scenarios as well as a section on what to do when the power goes out, particularly in cold weather. So, if you learned something that you wish you had done in advance, or a particularly creative solution to a situation that you used, please share it with me and then Steve and I will put a collection together for distribution. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></B></div>
