Daylight Savings Time is more than just a time to reset your clocks ahead one hour: it is also the perfect time of year for you, your family and your employees to refresh your emergency plans – spring forward into preparedness.
Dust off your Contact List: Things are always changing- children may change schools, employees leave, vendors change, and so does contact information. Do not wait until an emergency happens to find out you have the wrong number.
Create/Update The “Grab and Go Bag:” Have a backpack /duffle- type kit accessible with items you will need in the event of an evacuation. If you have this kit already completed, then recheck your supplies and check on items that may have expirations dates—such a food, water and medications. View the Preparedness Checklist.
Check Smoke Detectors: One in five homes have smoke detectors that do not work, mostly due to disconnection or dead batteries, according to the national Fire Protection Agency.

Daylight Saving doesn’t start until Sunday the 12th, not the 6th
It says the 12th-?
It is corrected now to the 12, it previously listed the 6th in the black type on yellow box.
