Practices Of Plans Prepared Saves Lives Poem by Terence George Craddock

we awake in cold fingered want

beware attitude makes or breaks
when earthquake our world shakes
no use blaming for disaster floods
react swiftly to disaster screams...

true test for individuals people nations
is community spirit in times of crisis
relief organizations time take to resources
gather quick response is on site locals...

practices of plans prepared saves lives
strategic placement realistic emergency supplies
prepare for roads bridges down or flooded rivers
build strong easy accessed relief stations..

clean water emergency power lighting saves lives
stored water is responsibility individual households
wisdom decrees store emergency medical food supplies
family household community preparations saves lives...
