  Emergency preparedness is no longer an option—it is a necessity. With the increasing frequency of natural disasters, pandemics, and unforeseen crises, individuals and communities must be ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Whether it’s a hurricane, wildfire, power outage, or civil unrest, the ability to react swiftly can mean the difference between safety and catastrophe. Unfortunately, too many people remain unprepared, relying on the assumption that government agencies or emergency responders will handle everything. While these organizations play a crucial role, personal preparedness is the first line of defense in any crisis.  
    
  One of the most significant misconceptions about emergency preparedness is that disasters are rare or unlikely to happen. However, global trends suggest otherwise. Climate change has intensified storms, heatwaves, and flooding events, making them more frequent and severe. Earthquakes and wildfires continue to threaten communities worldwide. Beyond natural disasters, cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, and public health emergencies have highlighted vulnerabilities in modern societies. The COVID-19 pandemic was a stark reminder of how quickly daily life can be upended, leaving many scrambling for essential supplies and reliable information.  
    
  Preparedness goes beyond simply stocking up on food and water. It involves understanding risks, developing an action plan, and ensuring that essential resources are available when needed. A well-thought-out emergency plan includes knowing evacuation routes, securing important documents, and maintaining a communication strategy with family and friends. In an emergency, panic and confusion can lead to dangerous decisions. Those who prepare in advance are better equipped to make rational choices and protect themselves and their loved ones.

  Letters to a Future Champion -...

  Dottie Pepper

  "Letters to a Future Champion" is a loving tribute to the power a mentor can have on an athlete's career. Written by 17-time LPGA Tour winner, 2 time major champion and lead CBS golf reporter, Dottie Pepper traces the influence "Mr. Pulver", a retired PGA golf professional had on her skills as well as her character... both on the practice range and in the letters the two exchanged after lessons and tournaments. Mr. Pulver would carefully tap out a critique, a technique or advice on the life lessons a young Dottie would need to rise to the top, sending her nearly 100 letters by the time of his death in 1986. 
  Dottie compiled those letters into a binder and referred to them throughout her playing career and beyond. The letters are a blueprint for honoring the history and traditions of the game, but they are also about much more than golf. They speak to the value of mentorship, fundamental beliefs, curiosity, grit, grace, determination, dreams, disappointment, success, and the value of education. 
  It is a timeless work with appeal for young to old, golfer and non-golfer alike.
