In the event of an emergency, are you ready to leave your home in less than an hour? Join author and expert organizer Jamie Novak when she reveals the simple steps and checklists.

In the event of an emergency, are you ready to leave your home in one hour? Do you, or someone else, know where your important papers are filed? Do you have a Go Bag of essential items &/or Go-Binder of important docs, and plans of where to meet?  Join author and expert organizer Jamie Novak when she reveals the simple steps and checklists you can use to give yourself peace-of-mind.  Be prepared to take lots of notes and screenshots with your phone.   

About the Presenter: You may have seen her on morning TV, read her newest book Keep This Toss That, listened to her 10 Minute Podcast, or watched her YouTube Show. Jamie Novak spends most days presenting virtual programs on how to de-stress and de-clutter, with a humorous twist. When not on the computer Jamie is searching for a cure to her addiction of clipping out recipes she never prepares. Be sure to catch her toss of the day at JamieNovak.com.

This event is presented by Hunterdon County Library and Kemmerer Library.  Register online or by calling (973) 584-2400 and the virtual link will be sent to you the day before the program.
