CONTEST: (Let’s Get) Ready To Rumble!

In honor of Earthquake Month, we’re holding a contest to encourage you to be prepared for anything.

To enter, simply take a photo of your disaster supply kit spread out on the table or floor. Then submit the photo one of four ways:

1. Via Flickr. Post to the Ready to Rumble! photo pool.
2. Via Twitter. Send to @RedCrossPDX.
3. Via Facebook. Post to the RedCrossPDX wall.
4. Via e-mail. Send to harwinl@redcross-pdx.org.

All photos must be submitted by April 30, 2010.

A winner will be selected at random and will receive a $50 gift certificate to the Oregon Trail Chapter store at www.oregonredcross.org/store — to purchase more preparedness products, of course!

Eventually, all photos submitted will be displayed at www.oregonredcross.org/ReadyToRumble.

BUT WAIT! What if you don’t have a kit?

Gather up the items that you DO have (flashlight, batteries, canned food) and take a photo. Consider this your first step towards getting prepared. You can also purchase one of five kits listed on this page and get 20% off using code EARTHQUAKE. Now there’s no excuse not to participate!

Fine print: Red Cross employees are encouraged to submit a photo, but are not eligible to win.

  • I am SO entering.
    Or, I would be if my family had any disaster supplies AT ALL beyond my first-aid kit! Must work on that.
    Gah, I am so ashamed of my family. XD

  • So… umm… what should be in my disaster repair kit (to be prepared for anything) to deal with those pesky UFOs? The non-'Signs' water melting ones.

    I stopped storing my supply kit indoors, and instead have found it to be nice to store it in my car so I'm prepared no matter where I am.

  • Hi Webmaster, commenters and everyone else !!! The weblog was absolutely incredible! Plenty of nice data and inspiration,
    depression treatment each of which we all need!Keep ‘em coming… you all do such an awesome job at such Ideas… can’t inform you how much I, for one recognize all you do!

  • Great post! I think this is a great way to get people to make a disaster repair
    kit. I don't have one but after reading this I am definitely going to get one together. I don't know why I don't have one already. Thanks so much for sharing.
