Emergency preparedness Tips

I put on a presentation for the Relief Society this last Thursday. I wanted to put up the tips that we talked about. This is the information I went over, the tips will follow.


For many of us, actually sitting down and creating a food storage plan, seems not only difficult, but, costly and time consuming. Several women have shared tips on how they do their food storage, and although many of us know a fair amount, we don’t take the time to put all the pieces together to actually move forward with a plan.

"We ask that you be wise as you store food and water and build your savings. Do not go to extremes; it is not prudent, for example, to go into debt to establish your food storage all at once. With careful planning, you can, over time, establish a home storage supply and a financial reserve."
—The First Presidency


According to figures gathered by one of the food storage manufacturing firms, less than 6% of the members of the Church have an adequate emergency program.

Where do you fit into this figure?

Let’s enjoy life as much as we can – but let’s also be prepared. As we have recently seen, an unexpected disaster or loss of income can strike every s-o-o quickly.
