Promoting Responsibility and Confidence

In a recent published report in 2019 chronicling natural disasters that have occurred within the United States and its territories, the Federal Emergency Managment Agency [F.E.M.A] detailed “how ill-prepared the agency was to manage a crisis outside the continental United States, like the one in Puerto Rico, and it urged communities in harm’s way not to count so heavily on F.E.M.A in a future crisis.” “The work of emergency management does not belong just to F.E.M.A, It is the responsibility of the whole community, federal, [state, local, tribal and territorial governments], private sector partners, and private citizens to build collective capacity and prepare for the disasters we will inevitably face.” That sounds like a great objective! 

Personal Essential Gear understands that emergency preparedness is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and that different people have different needs and preferences when it comes to the items, they want in their emergency kits. By allowing customers to customize their own kits, they are ensuring that each individual's specific needs are met and that they feel prepared and confident in case of an emergency.

Additionally, the fact that Personal Essential Gears offers affordable kits is important, as emergency preparedness should not be a privilege only for those who can afford it. It's great to see a company that is dedicated to making emergency preparedness accessible for everyone.

Overall, I think Personal Essential Gears' approach to emergency preparedness is both practical and thoughtful. By empowering individuals to design their own kits, they are promoting a sense of personal responsibility and preparedness, which can be crucial in the event of an emergency.
