Author: Lisa Pappas

I have been involved in Family Preparedness since the mid 90's. I am passionate in making others aware of the need to prepare their families for emergencies. My husband and I are leaders of the South Town Chapter (Chicagoland) of Live Free USA, which we organized in 2012. In bringing my Organizational, Management and Medical training to this group, I believe I offer many years of valuable experience. I recognize the importance of the woman's, homemaker's, and mother's role in being prepared. I often find myself referring to these roles when approaching Family Preparedness discussions, since I believe it is what we do each day, without even thinking of ourselves as "Preppers".
