Being prepared

I think I've posted about this already, but the culture of
preparedness in Switzerland is something I'm still getting used to.
It's easy to think about multiple reasons why the notion of being
prepared for all types of emergencies (from natural to social, from
astronomical to biological) is not common in Brazil. But here even
the government has a website [1] and a guide [2] on how to prepare
one's self and family for emergencies.
I'm adapting and learning to prepare our family and this week is
proving to be a great lesson for us. We were caught by surprise by
multiple problems and we're still trying to figure out a way out.
It's been hard to sleep at night, due to concern, and I can't help
but wonder how I could have better prepared ourselves for this
situation.
I know we'll work something out and I should look at the positive
side of how much we're learning right now, but this is easier to be
done after we're out of the woods.
