To kick off National Preparedness Month, it all starts with the prepared mindset that you are responsible for your own personal safety, and as parents, husbands, wives, etc. you're also responsible for the safety of our loved ones. The first step for how to have a prepared mindset is the belief no one is coming to save you, but you're prepared for the unexpected.

Karl de la Guerra, founder and CEO of KDI Protective Services, says it best, it's an unreasonable expectation to believe the police will be there as soon as the incident occurs. The police were designed as a response agency.

Preparedness means you've got to be responsible for your safety, your family's safety, especially between the time the incident happens to the time the police arrive.

Karl de la Guerra is a private security and executive protection expert and offers security consultation services to help fill that unique gap from the time of incident to when law enforcement arrives.

For us here at Premier Body Armor, we create innovative armor solutions that enable ANY member of the family to have armor with them as a self protection asset.

The unique aspect of armor is that there's no risk in carrying armor, only protection. Only 1 pound added to any bag can bring security and a peace of mind. No disruptions to your everyday carry system, no hassle, only an enhancement to your survival advantage.

For National Preparedness Month, we encourage everyone to train, educate themselves, carry self-protection tools, practice situational awareness. We can all take this month to reflect our current level of preparedness, how to grow, and take on the complete armored mindset.
