Look both ways before crossing the street!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTake a sweater so you don\u2019t get a chill!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t let the gas tank get under half!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Most of us have heard these and many other parental adages over the years \u2013 but how many of us really stop and think about the importance of such advice when it comes to being prepared?<\/p>\n

I may drive my family nuts when I ask if everyone has a sweater or sweatshirt before we go out the door, but every time the weather changes on us, they are glad they had something to throw over their shoulders. My teen heaves a big sigh every time I make her change out of flip-flops before a road trip (or bring socks and shoes), but if we break down and have to walk somewhere, she\u2019ll be thankful for mean old mom\u2019s demands.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As someone who has lived around the world and dealt with both personal emergencies and weather-related incidences, I can attest that there are certain habits that, once ingrained, will serve you well some day. These habits may seem silly, neurotic, or just too simple to even think about, but they\u2019ve helped me react more quickly (or better yet, be proactive), have alleviated my worries and concerns, and have even allowed me to help others in stressful and scary situations.<\/p>\n
