-------------------------------------------- Being prepared 2018.04.27 22:17:22 CEST -------------------------------------------- I think I've posted about this already, but the culture of preparedness in Switzerland is something I'm still getting used to It's easy to think about multiple reasons why the notion of being prepared for all types of emergencies (from natural to social, fro astronomical to biological) is not common in Brazil. But here even the government has a website [1] and a guide [2] on how to prepare one's self and family for emergencies. I'm adapting and learning to prepare our family and this week is proving to be a great lesson for us. We were caught by surprise by multiple problems and we're still trying to figure out a way out. It's been hard to sleep at night, due to concern, and I can't help but wonder how I could have better prepared ourselves for this situation. I know we'll work something out and I should look at the positive side of how much we're learning right now, but this is easier to b done after we're out of the woods.
