The Ad Council has two interesting campaigns that have been running this year.

• The campaign on Emergency Preparedness is sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, and it leads to Ready.gov.  You can watch, listen, read, and interact with the various ads and get the absolute basic introduction to emergency preparedness.

• Another campaign on Global Warming is sponsored by Environmental Defense, and it leads to Fight Global Warming.

I would like to see these two campaigns combined.  Preparing for the long emergency of global warming should be on all our minds, but I suppose it will take a while before government agencies admit that to the point that we see public service ads suggesting what we can do to prepare.
