POLL: Top Categorical Priorities For Your Personal Preparedness
I’m talking about categorical areas of preparedness concerns for YOU.
The priorities as you seen them from your own perspective.
And to add a twist, the poll will be gender based.
Two polls. One for men and the other for women.
Both polls have the same list of choices.
Only respond to the appropriate poll.
I simply thought of some higher level categories for preparedness. I could have listed LOTS more, however there are too many for a simple Poll as you get more specific.
Many of our circumstances are different from each other which may alter how you think about the list. That said, just find that which is closest to what you’re thinking…
Here’s the catch: You can only pick up to 10.
Here’s the text list in alphabetical order. Polls are below.
