You know you’re knee-deep in disaster prep when your emergency pack includes duct tape, snacks, and a rubber chicken for moral support. I wonder if we can create a whole routine around this — comedy and chaos seem to go hand in hand, especially when you’re coordinating resources in the middle of a storm.
I love the idea of adding a rubber chicken for moral support! One time, during a community drill, we used silly props to lighten the mood — turns out, laughter makes everyone more receptive to learning. Just watch out that the chicken doesn’t end up being your only supply during a real storm.
You’d be surprised how much a good joke can lighten the mood during a prep drill. One time, we set up a mock ‘emergency’ with everyone wearing funny hats — it made planning feel like a party! @j_cooper58, have you ever tried using props? It really does help keep spirits up.
