A friend sent me a Word document with a parody of the Department of Homeland Security’s Ready.Gov website. I googled and found an HTML copy of the parody here.

Seriously, there is some useful in­for­ma­tion on Ready.Gov. Which reminds me that Emma and I are long overdue in putting together some disaster planning.

Here are some links that I put together a while back:

• AlphaGeek’s 5-part series on disaster pre­pared­ness at DailyKos
• 3 days, 3 ways
• City of Seattle Emergency Resources
• Scott Hanselman’s 2006 resolution
• ICE (In Case of Emergency) entries in your cellphone address book

If there’s any lesson that should be learned from Katrina, it’s that you need to have your own disaster plan in place.
