"When you live in a place as beautiful as California you have to take the good with the bad and be prepared for natural disasters!" Aprilanne
In light of the current and serious “disaster” events – and the subsequent Tsunami Warnings that went into effect for many countries - CA Living’s “Be Prepared” TV campaign currently on the air in Marin County is now available On-demand:
California Living show host Aprilanne Hurley spotlights Angel Island Tiburon Ferry Captain Maggie’s “On Board for Safety” program on-air and ondemand to encourage disaster preparedness NOW! Our goal in producing and launching this “Be Prepared” Public Service Campaign was to provide valuable, lifesaving information in the 30 second spot itself – so that if a viewer did not go to a website for more info. they would still receive specifics on what they need to do for themselves and their families to “Be Prepared Today!” Please visit our “Be Prepared Toolkit” on this site and checkout our “quick view” preparedness tips below:
The Preparedness message is universal:
1. Prepared a Survival Kit – our recommendation in this spot is to keep and emergency kit in your car with essentials (in addition to having one in your home and office). This way you will have emergency food, water, and supplies where ever you are when on the road. Pack an extra cell phone charger and battery, crank and/or solar powered radio, blankets, road flares, and warm clothes in addition to a first aid kit.
2. Create an Emergency Family Plan – identify a responsible person out of state whom you can communicate with in the event phone lines in your area are tied up or down. Discuss two meeting places – one near your home and one away from you home in the event a disaster strikes and going home is not an option. Plan emergency exit routes, options, and protocols with each family member so they know exactly what to do in any type of emergency.
3. Stay “in the know” on what’s happening in your community, especially as it relates to weather conditions and pending threats of natural disaster. Depending on where you live – there are natural disaster threats specific to your area and you need to be prepared for anything! The recent Tsunami Warnings that went into effect for many countries hit home for California’s Coast and residents as well. “Staying Informed” is a critical component in your ongoing efforts to “Be Prepared” as there may not be very time to give notice to evacuate depending on the threat or disaster.
“Being Prepared for anything” will really give you and your loved ones peace of mind” Hurley notes, “While we naturally can’t control when or where a natural disaster will hit – by having what we need in place to operate at our peak performance in a disaster environment – we will be beeter able to help others in need, and can at least be assured we are doing all we can to increase our chances of survival.”

Follow the "Rule of Three...when entertaining with cheese..."
In addition to it’s relaxed attitude, world class wineries, and sunny beaches…California is know for it’s “cheese” (Or at least that’s what the California Dairy Counsel has been promoting for years!)…
…and if you like cheese, California offers some of the best cheese varieties available. From Harley Farm’s Goat Cheese to Point Reyes Blue – and numerous cheese makers in between one can truly indulge in style here in California.
If you enjoy simple, casual entertaining hosting a wine and cheese pairing party could be the perfect theme for your next event. An added bonus is that both wine and cheese tout health benefits when consumed in moderation – good tasting and good for you…now that’s good living!
I like to keep things simple and elegant – and over the years of hosting CA Living I have featured my share of entertaining ideas along these lines. One of the greatest casual entertaining concepts going is hosting a “Wine & Cheese Tasting Party.” With a little planning and the tips in the video clip below, you and your guests will have a great time exploring the gastronomical pleasures and sensual delights a party centered around pairing wine & cheese offers. While there are practically endless combinations when pairing wine and cheese – it’s been said that greatest food & wine pairings are created when you pair foods and wines which have been derived from the same region. Consider this concept your fool proof recipe for success when creating the menu for your next soiree. For example, a fresh goat cheese from Sonoma County will pair beautifully with a crisp Sonoma white – as will a bold Italian red go exceedingly well with a wedge of Pecorino Romano. For the INSIDE LOOK at the “must have” ingredients needed to host the perfect “Wine & Cheese Tasting Event” – check out the CA Living show video clip below – and as always…ENJOY! Aprilanne
