What will your next emergency be?
Imagine you have been forwarned about a storm that will be
coming your way. It will be one of the worst storms that you have seen in your lifetime but there is a little time to prepare for it. What will you do?
Are you already significantly prepared with provisions in place? Will you, like many others, make a mad dash to the store for things that may not be available after the storm? Or will you procrastinate?
The worst possible scenario is to have the storm bearing down on you and having to ask why did we wait?
Why emergency preparedness?
Gives a sense of peace to you and your family
We been counseled for many years to have our homes and emergency food storage in order. Even our pioneer ancestors knew the importance of, and practiced saving food and supplies for times of need.
“If ye are prepared, ye need not fear.” (D&C 38:30.)
Has proven to be stabilizing force in times when there is no disaster
Life throws curveballs when we least expect it, such as debiitating accidents that put us out of work for extended periods of time. People have lived off of their food storage during such times and it has saved them from stressful situations.
Can be a blessing to others
Not everyone is in a position financially to put food and supplies away sufficient to sustain them for a year or maybe even three months. Others have been blessed with the ability to do this.
