Hurricane Preparedness..... Are you Prepared?

What should I do?

•       Make sure you have Renter’s Insurance!!!  Be sure you have your policy numbers and claims dept. phone number handy.  Remember…the apartment community’s insurance covers our buildings…not your belongings. 
•       Listen to a NOAAWeather Radio for critical information from the National Weather Service (NWS).
•       Check your disaster supplies and replace or restock as needed.
•       Bring in anything that can be picked up by the wind (bicycles, lawn furniture on balconies, etc.)
•       Close windows and doors. 
•       Turn the refrigerator and freezer to the coldest setting and keep the closed as much as possible so that food will last longer if the power goes out.
•       Turn off propane tanks and unplug small appliances.
•       Fill your car’s gas tank
•       Talk with members of your household and create an evacuation plan.  Planning and practicing your evacuation plan minimizes confusion and fear during the event.
•       Learn about your community’s hurricane response plan.  Plan routes to local shelters, register family members with special medical needs as required and make plans for your pets to be cared for.
•       Evacuate if advised by authorities.  Be careful to avoid flooded roads and washed out bridges.

       

What supplies do I need for a hurricane?

•      Water—at east a 3 day supply; one gallon per person per day.
•      Food—at least a 3 day supply of non-perishable, easy-to-prepare food.
•      Flashlight.
•      Battery-powered or hand-crank radio (NOAAWeather Radio, if possible).
•      Extra batteries.
•      First aid kit.
•      Medications (7-day supply) and medical items (hearing aids w/extra batteries, glasses, contact lenses, syringes, cane).
•      Multi-purpose tool.
•      Sanitation and personal hygiene items.
•      Copies of personal documents (medication list and pertinent medical information, proof of address, lease to residence, passports, birth certificates, insurance policies).
•      Cell phone with chargers.
•      Family and emergency contract information.
•      Extra cash.
•      Emergency blanket.
•      Map(s) of the area.
•      Baby supplies (bottles, formula, baby food, diapers).

•      Tools/supplies for securing your home.
•      Extra set of car keys and house keys.
•      Extra clothing, hat and sturdy shoes.
•      Rain gear.
•      Insect repellent and sunscreen.
•      Camera for photos of damage.

What do I do after a hurricane?

•      Stay alert for extended rainfall and subsequent flooding even after the hurricane or tropical storm has ended.
•      If you evacuated, return home only when officials say it is safe.
•      Drive only if necessary and avoid flooded roads and washed-out bridges.
•      Keep away from loose or dangling power lines and report them immediately to the power company.

•      Use flashlights in the dark.  Do NOT use candles.
•      Avoid drinking or preparing food with tap water until you are sure it’s not contaminated.
•      Check refrigerated food for spoilage.  If in doubt, throw it out.
•      Wear protective clothing and be cautious when cleaning up to avoid injury.
•      Watch animals closely and keep them under your direct control.
•      Use the telephone only for emergency calls.

Life's little pleasures can sure add up... Take a look below at some little splurges that can sure make a BIG impact!



Dining Out

Don't feel like cooking, on those nights, Taco Bell or McDonald's comes in handy. Even when you indulged a few times a week you can end up shelling out $20 twice a week spending $2,080 a year.

Personal Beautification

Do you get your nails done ($22 to $34 a pop) regularly visit the hair salon (cut, color, and maintenance for $150) about 4 to 5 times a year. That might be overly indulgent for some folks, but it was a far cry from what some others are getting: $250 Botox and $500 lip injections on top of the leg waxing, brow waxing, and countless other services. You can be spending $1,944 per year on personal maintenance.

 

A vending machine here, a candy bar there

This is probably one of the worst budget killers known to man. You pop a dollar in a vending machine, get a soda at the convenience store, or surrender when your kids ask for a candy bar at the store. Even at $1 a day, you are spending over $360 a year.

After reading this do YOU plan on cutting back on some of your "must haves"?

School is back: Watch for 'precious cargo'

It’s about that time to start seeing school buses driving around the counties and picking up our “precious cargo,” our children.

It seems that every year we get inundated with phone calls regarding when motorist should stop for school buses. The easiest way to remember this is to tell yourself that if you can count four or more lanes then I don’t need to stop (if the bus is coming towards you).

Basically, two lanes going one way and two lanes going another equals a four-lane road. If you are on a two-lane road (one lane in one direction and another lane going another), then you have to stop.

Finally, if you are going in the same direction as the school bus, you have to stop if the bus stops. The bus will not let children off and allow then to cross a four-lane roadway.

As parents, we all want our children to go to school, but we get aggravated when we get stuck behind the school bus on the way to work. We are asking motorist to leave 15-20 minutes early for work, especially when school is in. You have to remember that bus drivers are learning their routes and school children are getting accustomed to their new bus stops.

Motorists should also observe the following traffic safety rules:

• When backing out of a driveway or leaving a garage, watch out for children walking to the bus stop or walking or bicycling to school.

• When driving in neighborhoods and especially in school zones, watch out for young people who may be thinking about getting to school, but may not be thinking about getting there safely.

• Slow down. Watch for children walking in the street, especially where there are no sidewalks. Watch for children playing and gathering near bus stops.

• Be alert and ready to stop. Children arriving late for the bus may dart into the street without looking for traffic.

Because getting on and off the bus is the most dangerous part of the school bus ride, the loading and unloading area is called the “Danger Zone.” This area — which extends 10 feet in front of the bus, 10 feet on each side of the bus, and behind the bus — is where children are at greatest risk of not being seen by the bus driver. Throughout the year, especially at the start of school, children need to be taught how to get on and off the school bus safely.

Parents should help their children learn and follow these common-sense practices:

• Get to the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. Running to catch the bus is dangerous and can lead to injuries.

• When the bus approaches, stand at least five giant steps (10 feet) away from the curb, and line up away from the street.

• Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says that it’s okay before stepping onto the bus.

• If you have to cross the street in front of the bus, walk on the sidewalk or along the road to a point at least five giant steps ahead of the bus before you cross. Be sure that the bus driver can see you and you can see the bus driver when crossing the street. Stop at the edge of the bus and look left-right-left before crossing.

• Use the handrails to avoid falls. When getting off the bus, be careful that clothing with drawstrings and book bags and backpacks with straps don’t get caught in the handrails or door.

• Never walk behind the bus.

• Walk at least five giant steps away from the side of the bus.

• If you drop something near the bus, tell the bus driver. Never try to pick it up, because the driver might not be able to see you.

I want to wish your children the “best of luck” with this school year. Remember kids, study hard, respect you parents, respect your teachers and reach for the stars. Every one of you can be whatever you can be, but you have to apply yourself.

If you would like a trooper to speak at your school, business, civic group, and church or for more information, please visit our website at www.SCHP.org.

Until next time, don’t be ejected from life. Buckle up.

Thank God Its Friday!

Compare Renting Month-to-Month Versus a Long Term Lease

Once you’ve decided on an apartment to rent, you’ll have to consider the terms of the lease. Depending on where you live, you may have an opportunity to choose to rent month-to-month as opposed to the more typical one- or two-year rental period. When offered this option, some renters may choose to forgo the commitment of a year-long, or longer, lease and move forward with a month-to-month rental agreement instead. 

Would longer-term or month-to-month renting be better for your situation? Here’s a comparison of the two to help you decide.

A month-to-month agreement offers more flexibility — on both sides. In a long-term lease, the rent amount generally cannot be raised as long as the original contract is held. A month-to-month lease, however, typically allows the landlord the ability to raise the rent more easily and more often, or to inform the tenant that the lease is not renewed, likely in favor of renting the unit instead to a tenant who wishes to make a longer-term commitment.

A month-to-month agreement, on the other hand, also gives the renter the opportunity to leave an apartment more quickly rather than have to stay or pay the penalty for breaking the lease.

Month-to-month agreements may be more expensive. It’s to the landlord’s advantage to have a renter commit to a longer tenancy. In exchange for giving up the security of a greater length of time, the landlord likely may charge a higher monthly rent for a shorter-term lease or month-to-month agreement.

Different laws cover month-to-month agreements and leases. Usually in a long-term lease, a clause will specify how much notice the landlord or the tenant has to give before terminating the contract (60 days is common). In a month-to-month agreement, the notification time is usually shorter. It is a good idea to be aware of your state’s provisions governing month-to-month rentals.

If you think you might need to move in a hurry, a month-to-month agreement might be more flexible for you. Be aware, however, that you might also be required to move quickly if the landlord decides not to continue the month-to-month agreement.

Landlords might not offer month-to-month agreements. Some landlords and apartment communities don’t want to offer short-term contracts, opting for longer-term commitments. After all, it is expensive to advertise and fix up a unit after a tenant vacates it. This is especially true in areas where apartments are in high demand: if you’re not willing to sign a long-term lease, the odds are better that another renter will. If you know you’ll only need an apartment for a short time only, you might want to look for agencies that specialize in short-term rental situations.

In short, a month-to-month rental agreement offers you more flexiblity, as you could leave the apartment more quickly. But a longer-term lease offers more stability, and often at a lower monthly rental price. Choosing the option that is better for you depends on your housing needs and expectations for the year or two to come.

Happy Ice Cream Sandwich Day!

Making use of childhood appeal and refreshing freezer temperatures, ice cream sandwiches are the pinnacle of summer desserts. The playful portable treats can easily be made two ways: either by simply stuffing individual soft-baked cookies with tablespoonfuls of ice cream and freezing or creating two pans of rolled-out cookie sheets, icing the bottom layer with ice cream, topping it with the second cookie pan and freezing.

Happy Monday

                                                I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Find a Better Paying Job


If you want to find a better paying job start by reading the "7 Tips to Finding a Good Paying Job." Then choose from the popular job help articles links to the right. Now it is your turn to learn how to maintain a competitive advantage above other job candidates.


7 Tips to Find a Better Paying Job

Important job help tips to consider when seeking better employment.

Know your strengths

It is very important when looking for a better paying job to know your strengths and weaknesses. If you have no knowledge about surgery, it is wise to assume that you would not land a job as a surgeon. Even if you did, the outcome would more than likely be less than desirable. Therefore, by first identifying what you are good at (you skills and talents) and what you enjoy doing, will get you started on your search for a better paying job.

Start by putting together a list of work related strengths - technology, sales, creativity, dealing with people, etc. Define what you are best at. Take into account areas that may need improvement. Break the list into categories and attempt to create a theme based on your current set of skills.

Importance of self confidence

Self confidence, skills and the ability to adapt to change when necessary is paramount in our current economic times. No longer is a mere college education going to guarantee a high paying career. Rather the combination of education, formal or informal, accompanied by experience, qualifications and a bit of creativity, are more likely to land you the position you desire.

This is one of the fundamental differences that will set you apart from the thousands upon thousands of other qualified applicants currently seeking a better paying job. Now, who are you? Did you know that you are the perfect person for the job, with the perfect resume, who offers the most value for the position? Well you are...

Tailor your cover letter

A cover letter may be the one thing that sets you apart from all the other applicants seeking employment. Having a well written cover letter generally helps you stand out and increases your potential for further review. Employers looking to fill a position want to find the right person and spend as little time doing so. By writing a cover letter, right away you are able to express your skills, talents, and communicate what makes you the perfect fit for the job.

It is important to uniquely adjust your cover letter to fit the job you are applying for. Include a few interesting facts you found from researching their company. Show the hiring manager that you spent time learning about their business.

Let your personality show through. An employer wants not only to find a well qualified applicant, they are also looking to see if your personality will fit in with the rest of their staff.

Perfect & refine your resume

Your resume is a direct representation of who you are, what you can do, and how well you can do it. Most potential employers reading over a resume or your resume objectives are able to determine if the applicant's qualifications match the position with a few simple glances. If you do not invest the time perfecting your resume (and it shows) why then would an employer take a risk hiring you. Remember to tailor your resume, as you did with your cover letter by specifically focusing on the job you are applying for.

Choose the right job search websites

Advances in technology present new opportunities for job seekers. Applicants who fail to take advantage of new technology such as job search websites, posting online resumes & portfolios, or even recruitment services - may miss out on new job openings. Research the best job search websites related to your industry. Then, create a profile for each. Finally, post your cover letter and resume and/or portfolio.

Note: Before posting your cover letter and resume, make sure that all of the following information is included, current, spell checked and correct: contact information, cover letter, job objectives, job related experience, past work history (included date of hire and when you left the job), education & certificates, technology/computer skills, language skills (optional), member associations (optional), references (optional yet important).

Follow up

Follow up before and after your interview. Use a combination of email and phone calls. Sending out resumes alone is generally not enough. A potential employer may have overlooked your resume or even developed a bias opinion from reading your credentials. Calling shows persistence and allows for direct contact with the employer offering the job you are applying for.

After you interview it is wise to perform a follow up call or email thanking the interviewer. This again shows persistence and your desire to work for their company. If given the opportunity, briefly explain why you are convinced that the job is right for you, thanking them for the initial interview. Explain not only why you are a perfect fit but also why your employment with them will be of mutual benefit. Employers need to be confident you are the right person for the job, and nearly as important; will you fit in with their organization?

Be ready to interview

When presented with the opportunity to interview with a company, do your due diligence. Spend a few hours researching the company. The easiest way to do this is by reading their website. It is tremendously important that your interview goes well. Knowing more about the company you are interviewing for will give you an edge when discussing possible employment.

Prepare a few questions for the interviewer. This shows value, serious interest in the job, and first and foremost that you have done your research. Also include questions that are most important to you - do they offer medical insurance, paid vacation, company car, or anything thing else that may be of concern. Remember to choose favorable questions geared toward the position you are applying for.
