A

new year brings new opportunities, new successes and new reasons to celebrate and be thankful.

As the new year begins, I’d like to take this opportunity to look back on what was accomplished in 2015 and what we’re planning for 2016. This past year, we held several successful charity events, raising money for local organizations and causes; helped Marion County’s homeless children and families with the “Stuff the Bus” program and more; and donated $6,000 to local teachers to help support student projects in need of funding.

This year, we hope to continue the success of our charity events and community outreach projects.

Save these dates!

Our Global International Committee will host a “Taste of the World” event on February 9 at 5:30pm. This event will

feature a social hour with presentations and entertainment from various cultures, food tasting from around the world, music and more.

On April 30, OMCAR will once again join the Chamber & Economic Partnership and the Marion County Building Industry Association to bring to you the 2016 Home, Garden & Lifestyle Expo at the College of Central Florida’s Ewers Center from 10am-3pm. Please look for more information on this event on our website.

OMCAR wishes you a wonderful new year filled with abundance, joy and treasured moments. May 2016 be your best year yet!

BUILDING A DISASTER PREPAREDNESS KIT N

ATURAL DISASTERS LIKE HURRICANES, FLOODS, TORNADOES AND EARTHQUAKES CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE. THAT’S WHY ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE AMERICAN RED CROSS URGE PEOPLE TO PREPARE AHEAD OF TIME. YOU MAY HAVE AN EMERGENCY PLAN IN PLACE, SO EVERYONE IN YOUR FAMILY KNOWS WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO GO IF A DISASTER STRIKES. WHAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE IS A DISASTER PREPAREDNESS KIT.

In the event of an emergency, there often isn’t much time to search for or stock up on supplies. You can create your own disaster preparedness kit ahead of time with some basic household items.

WEATHER RADIO A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio broadcasts continuous weather information from the nearest national weather service and keeps you updated on potential weather-related issues that could arise.

NONPERISHABLE FOOD When disaster strikes, access to fresh, perishable foods and refrigeration may be limited, so it’s important to have nonperishable food items readily available. Such items include ready-to-eat canned foods, granola or fruit bars high in protein, dried fruit or vegetables, nuts and low sodium crackers. If you choose to include canned items in your kit, also remember to have a manual can opener handy.

FIRST AID SUPPLIES Basic first aid supplies should be accounted for, including adhesive bandages, compression bandages, tape, gauze, antibiotic ointment, antiseptic wipes and rubber gloves. Pain relievers, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, are also good to have on hand.

FLASHLIGHT AND BATTERIES Power outages are a common result of natural disasters, and stumbling through darkness can be dangerous. Be prepared with a flashlight and usable batteries. Check your battery supply frequently.

hard surfaces and help prevent mold and mildew. In fact, Clorox has worked with the Red Cross for more than 40 years to donate bleach for recovery efforts following natural disasters.

“Clorox is an invaluable partner to the American Red Cross,” said Trevor Riggen, regional chief executive officer, Red Cross Northern California Coastal Region. “Their donations help victims of disaster recover during the most difficult times.”

BLEACH After a natural disaster, water may not be safe to drink. If water supplies are compromised and you don’t have power to boil water, you can create potable water with a few drops of unscented disinfecting bleach, such as Clorox. It is also useful to have bleach on hand for cleanup, to disinfect
