United Planning Group Debuts New Website for Consumers

Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) August 03, 2013

This newest website is the latest online offering from United Planning Group designed to educate consumers. This exclusive testimonials website, testimonials.unitedplanninggroup.com, will offer important insight and information to the consumers who view it. However, unlike other United Planning Group websites that focus on providing the public with general information regarding the issues associated with setting about to create an estate plan, testimonials.unitedplanninggroup.com places its attention on giving the public an insight into the company itself and the overall United Planning Group customer experience.

The new website gives the public a glimpse of United Planning Group’s people and services through the eyes of the company’s own customers. Through a series of testimonials and reviews submitted by actual customers of the company, the public can obtain a clearer picture of what types of benefits and what caliber of service they can expect when they retain the services of United Planning Group.

Company President, James K. Boyles, expressed his excitement about the website. “From our perspective, these customer reviews and testimonials tell our story better than we ever could. Like most folks, nothing gives us more satisfaction than hearing a customer say, ‘Job well done!’ We’re pleased with your recent customer survey which yielded a 94% satisfaction rating, but we feel there is still room for improvement. Our goal is to see that number closer to 97%, which we believe is realistic.”

“United Planning Group, at its most basic level, is about people… our employees, our representatives and most of all, our family of customers,” Boyles added. “With this website, we hope you’ll get to know some of these people a little better and get an even deeper understanding for what United Planning Group is all about, which truly is people serving people and their families.”

United Planning Group is dedicated to being an industry leader in preserving the wealth and securing the well-being of its customers by providing access to a variety of estate and financial planning strategies. Today, United Planning Group, along with its parent and sister companies, has more than 35,000 customers, which it services from its home office in Sarasota, Florida with the indispensable help of its network of skilled, dedicated and service-minded local professionals.

Planning for a Crisis - Stocking Survival Food

First: Water

Water is the first thing you must stock up on. A person can live longer without food than they can without water. Dehydration is a big problem, the only way to protect yourself is to have a cache of water in case of a crisis or disaster. You must remember that a crisis can be nothing more than a break in your own home's water supply. If the water is cut off, where will you be? So, store water for whatever thing might come along.

Everything else is secondary:

Canned Foods

Vegetables, soups, meats, fruits - all of these can be stored by stocking up on canned goods. Don't think that the only things available in cans are vegetables. You can also get juices and sauces in cans. Take an afternoon and really look up and down the canned goods aisles of your local supermarket. You might be surprised of all the different foodstuffs you can get in cans.

When you think about meals, don't forget that non-condensed soups offer you a meal in a can. When you stock up, you might want to get the low sodium varieties so that you don't end up with too much salt in your diet.

Dehydrated and Freeze-Dried Foods

Dried milk, boxed mashed potatoes, drink mixes - these can all be mixed with water to provide drinks and food for your survival cache. And since they don't take up much space, you can store a lot of food in a small container. You will find that more and more different foods are preserved in this way, so there are many things you can get that need water to rehydrate them.

MREs

These are great meal substitutes. Although not a long-term solution, these can get you through some rough first couple days.

Supplements

It doesn't hurt to add some supplements to your survival cache. Vitamins and minerals can supplement your diet easily by using already made products on the market.

Planning for a disaster is more about being prepared and thinking ahead than anything else. You don't have to buy everything at one time. Start out picking up a few things and be sure to rotate the canned goods. By rotating goods out and in each time you go to the grocery store, you will always have good stock in your cache.

Even though you don't have to buy everything at once, make it a practice to buy bottled water every time you go to the grocery. You will never regret having a large stockpile of good water.

When you select the survival food to store in your cache for a disaster, make sure that you consider the fact that you will need to survive in 24-hour increments. One can of tuna and a bottle of water will not offer you much sustenance. A minimum of 72-hours is the optimum time frame. Read more about survival at ExpertSurvivalTips.com .
