Welcome to the internet, where misconstructions begin with a single keystroke.
Although the phrase makes perfect sense to me, I can see how it can be misinterpreted. I think as long as you make it clear that it's about being prepared, and not preparing to be irresponsible, you've got your bases covered. If someone chooses what you said to mean differently, it's their mistake, not yours.
