Hello Sisters, Thanks for dropping by!
This week was our combined meeting and it was very informative and motivating! The meeting was a continuation from an earlier discussion on emergency preparedness.
This Bishop began by addressing some of the threats that we have in our area.
Threats in our area:
-Flooding
-Water Contamination
-Earthquake
*loss of home/shelter
*loss of utilities; gas, water, power, telephone
*loss of transportation
-Toxic contamination
-Pandemic
-Severe Storms
What are we doing as a ward?
Relief society is beginning to hold a monthly GO Group. It will be held the 1st Wednesday of each month. It's goal is to educate and motivate us to get prepared for emergencies.
We are also providing information and supplies for 72hr kits.
Monthly assignments will be given out to get us prepared.
Monthly visits to the cannery to build up our food storage.
The Ward has a written Emergency Preparedness Plan but the primary responsibility rests with individual families. It's essentially our responsibility to prepare for our own self reliance. This means:
Creating our own family emergency preparedness plan
Building up our food storage
Saving money and getting out of debt
Educating ourselves.
The church's Provident Living website is an excellent source to get started, participate in the ward activities and get motivated to become self reliant. BE PREPARED!
