<span style="font-size: x-large;">After 8+ years of posting on this blog and much consideration I have decided to no longer post on this emergency preparedness blog. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For the last 8+ years I have shared my knowledge, experiences and encouraged you to be better prepared, given you monthly assignments to help make it easier to be prepared and given you emergency preparedness ideas. I realized a few months ago I continually repeat myself about every few years. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This past 8 years I have taught you how to fish. Now it is time for you to fish. This blog holds all the information you will need to prepare for what every emergencies you might face. Please use this resource to help you better prepare. I will not take down the blog so you can continue to use it. The postings, under "Postings" will help you in each of the categories. As you scroll though each year you will see monthly assignments that will help you reach these goals. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It has been a blessing and hopefully I have encouraged you and helped you to become better prepared. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">May each of you become better prepared temporally and spiritually. May you use this emergency preparedness blog to help you along your way. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Remember, there is no need to fear if you are prepared!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Best of wishes in your temporal and spiritual preparations. Be safe, aware of your surroundings and be prepared for what ever may come your way. </span><br />

<br />
Last Sunday, at our Stake Conference (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), one of our Ward Bishops came up to me and made an interesting statement. He said, "I can count on one hand the number of people in his Ward who are prepared". WOW!!! That is scary! Why are we procrastinating? Some say I have no time, some say it cost to much, some say I have plenty of time to prepare.<br />
<br />
We are continually admonished and warned by our local and federal governments, our various churches leaders and throughout the Bible, Book of Mormon and Doctrine Covenants to prepare both temporally and spiritually. Why are we not following their warnings and council?<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>To those who say I have lots of time: </b>As we know by the news media, natural and man made disasters can happen in an instant. Sometimes we receive warnings ahead of time, sometimes there is no warning. Even when people live in areas where they have annual hurricanes and tornadoes they still wait until the last minute.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>To those who say it takes to much time:</b> How much time does it take to pick up extra cans or packages, especially when on sale, while grocery shopping? None at all. Find a cupboard, closet or under the bed to store your food storage. Get a notebook and keep track of how much have you. Keep the notebook with your food stage. Before you know it you will have 1-3 months of canned and packaged food storage. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>To those who say it cost to much money: </b>You may need to re-prioritize your needs and wants until you have at 3-months food storage. Give up going to the movie theater and rent a movie. Stop eating at fast food places (healthier and cheaper), cook at home, cut out purchasing drinks and deserts when you eat out, try less expensive places to eat, hold off on wants, find others ways to save and use that money towards your food storage. Purchase items when on sale. There are so many ways we can afford to build up our food storage.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Many various churches warn us of being in the last days as the scriptures forewarn us. President Russell M. Nelson said, "The Lord is hastening the work. If we are not close to the Spirit we will not survive the last days."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My old saying is so true, "I would rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Procrastination is not a good thing! Preparing is a great thing and brings peace of mind! It also allows us to help others in need.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Since January of this year we have been working towards a 3-Month Food Storage supply.</b> Each families is be unique in that not one family eats the same things. You will tailor your food storage according to what your family will eat. Do not purchase items just because they are sale, your family will not eat foods they do not like, and you have just wasted valuable money that could be put towards foods they will eat.</span><br />
<br />
<b>A 3-Month Food Storage supply consists of commercially canned and packaged food and home canning foods. You can also include frozen foods.</b><br />
<ul>
<li><b>January </b>we worked on keeping track of what your family eats in a month. Go back to January 2018 posting to see the details and a printable chart to keep track. Now that you have figured out what your family eats in a month you can set up an inventory notebook.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>February</b> I showed you how to set up your Food Storage and Emergency Supply Inventory Notebook. Go back to the February 2018 positing to see how to do this.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>March through November </b>we continued to add commercially canned and packaged foods, frozen foods, and home canned foods to your 3-Month Food Storage. Watch sales, allowing to purchase more. Keep track in your inventory notebook. Rotate as needed.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>This month continue to add to your 3-Month Food Storage. </b><br />
<b><br /></b><b>This might be a good time to inventory what you have so far and what you still need.</b><br />
<b><br /></b><b>If you have completed your 3-Month Food Storage Supply start adding Long Term Food Storage items, dehydrated and freeze-dried foods in #10 cans or buckets.</b><br />

Several years ago I learned about a great company, Seychelle Water Filtration, whose products filter out 99.9999% of all bacteria and contamination, some even radio-active materials, 100 gallons per filter. We own several of their products and love them. Purchasing directly from the company can be expensive. You can also purchase some of their products from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_4_9?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=seychelle+water+filter&sprefix=seychelle%2Caps%2C242&crid=3BXP315J3PBJC">amazon.com</a>, <a href="https://store.lds.org/CategoryDisplay?ddkey=ProductListingView_8_-3011_3074457345618261566&fromPage=catalogEntryList&urlRequestType=Ajax&catalogId=3074457345616676768&categoryId=3074457345616678849&resultType=products&showResultsPage=true&pageView=grid&disableProductCompare=false&urlLangId=-1&beginIndex=20&langId=-1&top_category=3074457345616678849&enableSKUListView=FALSE&emsName=Widget_CatalogEntryList_701_2465&ajaxStoreImageDir=%2Fwcsstore%2FLDSSAS%2F&storeId=10151&pageView=grid&fromPage=catalogEntryList&beginIndex=20">store.lds.org</a> (scroll to bottom), <a href="https://store.jimbakkershow.com/product-category/water-products/">The Jim Bakker Show</a> (online) and other stores. There are other companies that offer filtration systems, but I find Seychelle is the best company. Click <a href="https://www.seychelle.com/">here</a> to go to their website.<br />

<b>Seychelle Water Filtration Pump: </b>This pump comes in section and can be put together for the size of water barrel you have. All together it will fit the 55 gallon water barrel. It filters out 99.9999% of bacteria and contaminants. It filters 100 gallons of water. The filter can be replaced as needed. I suggest you have several extra filters on hand. We have used our pump many times.<br />

<a href="https://www.beprepared.com/">(emergencyessentials.com)</a> has great products at great prices. They have many small items that would make great stocking stuffers.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">We All Need to Prepare For What May Come </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">When we see the images on the news media regarding the destruction from hurricane Michael in Mexico Beach, Florida USA and other disasters, we many often ask, "why prepare if it can all be destroyed in a few minutes"? Why? We prepare because we are admonished by our prophets in the scriptures and our modern day prophets, apostles and general church leaders to be prepared both temporally and spiritually. We are being obedient and we will be blessed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">We never know how the disaster may effect us. Some areas are hit hard while others are not. Yes, we can loose everything, but if we are prepared we can also have peace of mind knowing we are prepared and able to help others. When the category 5 tornado hit Joplin, Missouri USA a few years ago, the area where our daughter and her family lived was not hit. Many parts of Joplin were destroyed.

<span style="font-size: large;">If you have one at home and in each car check to see if it needs updated or used supplies replaced. Check all ointments to make sure they have not expired and replace as needed.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">We are back from taking a break in August. This past month we have spent time with our family. What a blessing! We hiked, swam, bowled, cooked together, eat together, prayed and read scriptures together, served together, talked, encouraged and uplifted one another. Family is the most precious thing we have here on this earth. Would we not want to do all we can to protect and provide for them both temporally and spiritually?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This emergency preparedness blog is all about that, providing and protecting our precious family both temporally and spiritually. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">As I have watched once again this past month of how quickly our lives can change due to natural disasters like wildfires, flooding, earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes and some man made disasters, I see how important it is to be prepared for what ever might come our way. We can do that my having our 72 Hour Individual Emergency Preparedness Bags, water and food storage, emergency supplies, emergency medical supplies and evacuation and shelter-in-place plans in effect. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Yes, it all sounds so overwhelming! But you can do it if you make a plan and set some goals. This blog and monthly assignments will help you do just that, provide for your precious family both temporally and spiritually. Why not give it a try? It cannot hurt. And if anything, it will bring peace of mind knowing you are prepared. We all say I have lots of time! I will do it someday! Someday will be too late! Things can happen in just seconds! We see on the news all the time. Show your family how much you love them by being better prepared. </span></span></div>

different types of disasters and evacuations, routes in place. Practice
them often with your family, especially if you have children in your home. </span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">With all the natural disasters, man made disasters, civil unrest, wars and other things going on around us it would be a good idea to be prepared. When the storm is upon you it is too late! Prepare now so you will not fear. Why live in fear when you do not need to? Why not prepare now when you can? It is not hard! Take baby steps. You do not have to do it all at once. We have been working on our food storage and emergency supplies for 47 years. It is a life time of work that you are continually updating and adding too. As our lives change our needs change. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">I felt inspired by the Holy Ghost about 9 years ago that we needed to be better prepared and to warn my family, friends, neighbors and the world they needed to better prepared. So, with the help of my daughter I created this emergency preparedness blog to help you, to make it easier to prepare and not feel so overwhelming. I promise you if you will use this blog and the monthly assignments you will be prepared faster than you can realize. It works! Why not try it? Why live in fear? Do not procrastinate and think it cannot happen to you. It may at some point. It may be the lost of income, health or a disaster. Why live in fear of not being prepared for what may come your way? Just try it! In safety there is peace!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Now are you doing on your 3-Month Food Storage? </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since January of this year</span> </span>we have been working towards a 3-Month Food Storage supply.</b>
Each families is be unique in that not one family eats the same
things. You will tailor your food storage according to what your family
will eat. Do not purchase items just because they are sale, your family
will not eat foods they do not like, and you have just wasted valuable
money that could be put towards foods they will eat.<br />
<br />
<b>A 3-Month Food Storage supply consists of commercially canned and
packaged food and home canning foods. You can also include frozen foods.
</b><br />
<ul>
<li>
<b>January </b>we worked on keeping track of what your family eats in a
month. Go back to January 2018 posting to see the details and a
printable chart to keep track. Now that you have figured out what your
family eats in a month you can set up an inventory notebook.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<b>February</b> I showed you how to set up your Food Storage and Emergency
Supply Inventory Notebook. Go back to the February 2018 positing to see
how to do this. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<b>March through June </b>we continued to add commercially canned and packaged
foods, frozen foods, and home canned foods to your 3-Month Food Storage.
Watch sales, allowing to purchase more. Keep track in your inventory
notebook. Rotate as needed.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>This month, July, continue to add to your 3-Month Food Storage. </b><br />
<br />
<b>Big box stores vs regular grocery stores: </b>Recently I purchased a
case of Kirkland brand, 12 cans of green beans (14.5 oz each) at Costco
for $5.99. That works out to 50 cents a can, a great price. At the
regular grocery store like Safeway, Ralph's or Albertsons in Southern
California, USA they run, on sale, about $.70-$1.00. And of course, at
the discounts stores they are $1 each, but watch the expiration dates.
So clearly in this case the big box store is less expensive, but it
depends on the item. Do the math and watch your local grocery stores for
the best price. Watch for case lot sales too. <br />

"Shelter-In-Place" means to take immediate shelter where you are, at home, work, school or in between. It may be used in instances of violent weather, civil unrest or accidental or intentional releases of hazardous materials that may affect he outside environment. <b>When the warning is issued do not hesitate! Take immediate shelter! </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each family should have a 'Shelter-In-Place" plan in affect. Practice it often, especially if you have children in your home and the elderly. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
1) Extra large heavy black plastic (like the 55 gallon trash bags or a
roll of plastic). You need the heavy black plastic to block out light
from those outside so they do not think you are home to possible
protect your family. You will also need to seal the door, do not forget
the bottom. <br />
2) Duck tape to tape the plastic to all the windows in the room you are shelter in.<br />
3) If it is cold and for some reason you have no heat or advised to not
use your gas you can line the room with your bed mattresses. It is
amazing how this will keep the room warm.<br />
4) You should have a "shelter-in-place" kit that can easily be accessed
quickly. It should contain bottled water, medications, snacks, food (granola bars,
peanut butter, Ritz crackers, trail mix, etc.) just in case you need to
stay there for awhile. It should also contain some card and board games
to entertain the family, scriptures and favorite reading books.<br />
5) Flashlight with extra batteries, and maybe an LED lantern, in case you loose electricity.<br />
6) A radio to get updated news. If you are in a room with the TV then you can watch the news.<br />
7) Do not forget your pets and their needs. Have small kit put together for them. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">1) Plan ahead of time which room you will shelter-in-place in, one with
the least amount of windows and doors. The master bedroom with an
adjacent bathroom would be idea.<br />
2) Gather the family together quickly. <br />
3) Cover all window and doors with the heavy black plastic and seal with the duck tape.<br />
4) Listen to the radio or TV for further instructions. If you do not
have a phone in the room you are sheltering in, take your cell phone
with you and the charger. <br />
5) Pull out your "Shelter-in-Place" kit and keep everyone calm and
ingaged in activities, especially the children, to keep their minds off
what is happening.<br />
6) Bring your pets in from outside. <br />
7) Listen for the all clear sound or announcements on the radio or TV.<br />
8) DO NOT leave the room until you know it is safe.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">A few weeks ago as we entered our neighborhood, one night after attending a church activity, we noticed all the lights were out. Soon we discovered after a chain of events, we were not as prepared as we thought we were. Let me share our experience and what we learned. </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">First, I grabbed the small flashlight I keep in my purse for emergencies so we could see as we entered our house. Unfortunately, the flashlight was dead. So we stumbled and felt our way to the kitchen to retrieve the flashlight there. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Since we did not know how long the electricity would be out my husband got the emergency garage key, electric garage door, to open the garage so he could get our solar emergency generator out to connect an extension cord into the house so we could attach a lamp for lighting. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">While he did that I got a small battery operated lantern out of the closet so we could have some light. In this process I discovered I needed to get the step ladder to reach the lantern, then get batteries and struggled a little holding the flashlight so I could put the batteries in. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">In the mean time, my husband discovered the solar generator was not charged. Just a few weeks before that I realized we had not checked the 3 large batteries inside the solar generator in awhile, they need replaced about every 2 years, and I had procrastinated in having him check, now they are dead. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Then my husband said he would get the small gas generator and use it. In trying to get to it we discovered it was not easily accessible, especially when you can not see very well. So he decided to get the large gas generator, but it needed gas. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Then we discovered the gas containers were also empty, we had just a few weeks ago rotated the gas to our car and meant to refill them, but once again with our busy life we had procrastinated. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Just as my husband decided he could hook up the car battery by a devise he has, the lights came back on. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Wow!!!</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;">We discovered very quickly how we thought we were prepared, we were not! This was serious<b>!</b> What if there had been a serious disaster or emergency that lasted days? We would have been in trouble! I say many times to people when they ask me how you know if you are really prepared, "Sometimes you do not really know until a disaster or emergency situation is upon you". Boy, was I right! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">So to remedy our escalate of problems that night we have replaced the batteries in my purse flashlight, moved the small battery operated lantern easier to access with batteries taped to it, replace the solar generator batteries, filled the gas cans and made the small gas generator more easily accessible. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">What lessons did we learn from this experience? As I always say and did not follow my own rules, "Continually check on your emergency supplies, update, repair and replace as needed, make them easy to access and do not procrastinate when the emergency supplies need replaced and repaired".</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3-Month Food Storage . . . </b></span><b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>This year we are working towards a 3-Month Food Storage supply.</b>
Each families will be unique in that not one family eats the same
things. You will tailor your food storage according to what your family
will eat. Do not purchase items just because they are sale, your family
will not eat foods they do not like, and you have just wasted valuable
money that could be put towards foods they will eat.<br />
<br />
<b>A 3-Month Food Storage supply consists of commercially canned and
packaged food and home canning foods. You can also include frozen foods.
</b><br />
<br />
<b>In January </b>we worked on keeping track of what your family eats in a
month. Go back to January 2018 posting to see the details and a
printable chart to keep track. Now that you have figured out what your
family eats in a month you can set up an inventory notebook.<br />
<br />
<b>In February</b> I showed you how to set up your Food Storage and Emergency
Supply Inventory Notebook. Go back to the February 2018 positing to see
how to do this. <br />
<br />
<b>In March through May </b>we continued to add commercially canned and packaged
foods, frozen foods, and home canned foods to your 3-Month Food Storage.
Watch sales, allowing to purchase more. Keep track in your inventory
notebook. Rotate as needed.<br />
<br />
<b>This month, May, continue to add to your 3-Month Food Storage. </b><br />
<br />
<b>Big box stores vs regular grocery stores: </b>Recently I purchased a
case of Kirkland brand, 12 cans of green beans (14.5 oz each) at Costco
for $5.99. That works out to 50 cents a can, a great price. At the
regular grocery store like Safeway, Ralph's or Albertsons in Southern
California, USA they run, on sale, about $.70-$1.00. And of course, at
the discounts stores they are $1 each, but watch the expiration dates.
So clearly in this case the big box store is less expensive, but it
depends on the item. Do the math and watch your local grocery stores for
the best price. Watch for case lot sales too. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">It is a known fact you can live without food for several days, but you cannot live without water for more than 2-3 days! </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Each family should have <b>1 gallon of drinking water per day per person </b>stored for your house hold. The United States Government and our local community Emergency Preparedness units advise us we should have enough <b>drink water</b> on hand for <b>two weeks</b>.<b>
</b>I<b> </b>strongly feel two weeks is not enough, look what happened after
Katrina and other disasters. I think we should have drinking water stored for at least <b>a month,</b> or more if possibl<b>e.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The best way to store drinking water is in 15-55 gallon water barrels. See the link below regarding information. Another way is in the store commercially bottled plastic bottles. Be careful with these. If you buy them by the case do not store them directly on concrete, the water will absorb the chemicals from the plastic. Raise above the concrete on 2x4 wood beams or pallets. No matter what types of containers you store your water in, it all needs rotated. Check out the link below for how long to store the water.

<span style="font-size: small;">Years ago my husband entered a work competition for a new slogan. He won! He came up with FABWODI, "Find a better way of doing it!" Many people do not understand why they cannot seem to build up their food storage, emergency supplies, get out of debt, save money, etc.. There is a saying, "If you keep doing what you are doing, you will always get what you have gotten." So if you are struggling with acquiring food storage and emergency supplies, change what you are doing. This blog will help you do that. If you follow each month's assignments, before you know it, you will have your 3-months, year food storage, water storage and emergency supplies. I am trying to make it as easy as I know how. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Many people ask me how I lost so much weight, 66 pounds so far, and ask my daughter how they got out of so much debt, they are debt free now. We both tell them it takes patience, persistence, consistency, dedication, determination, sacrifice and hard work. There is no easy or magic trick! Emergency preparedness is the same!</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This blog has been mostly directed at temporal emergency preparedness, food and water storage, emergency supplies for cooking, shelter, heating, lighting, etc. and spiritual preparedness. After the experience we have had the last 3 months I feel I need to address health emergency preparedness. We never know when a family member, or ourselves, will need care, possibly100 percent care, for an extended amount of time. It can happen at any time, immediately. Let me share what has been going on with us . . .</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7pZNVFklKXo19FMz64mAVUSxuS42WzdeSRW9sN4YIXSM1gw5QN7XAQfVgW14s7y8Yg0VsVa2GcNIAq0LY1q7NjW86XHlLaHUB3iy_TSZ_sqBihr8M3KeHnzwaeaG8r5CfUlidyGkk_Ck/s1600/someone+in+a+hospital+bed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="205" data-original-width="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7pZNVFklKXo19FMz64mAVUSxuS42WzdeSRW9sN4YIXSM1gw5QN7XAQfVgW14s7y8Yg0VsVa2GcNIAq0LY1q7NjW86XHlLaHUB3iy_TSZ_sqBihr8M3KeHnzwaeaG8r5CfUlidyGkk_Ck/s1600/someone+in+a+hospital+bed.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">About 3 months ago my husband's cousin, 75 years old, received some very serious injures. He lives in a senior living complex with various levels of care, his being more independent. He fell and was unconscious for awhile, when he came to he could not get up or reach the emergency cord. When the staff came in around 7:00 a.m. to check on their residences he was in agonizing pain. He was immediately transports by Peri-medics to the hospital and later transported to another hospital who had the critical care unit he needed. He was there for about 3-4 weeks after having surgery and treatment, then transferred to a rehab/skilled nursing facility for another 4 weeks. Then he went back to his senior living complex requiring a full time caregiver. The senior living facility he is living in does not offer full time caregivers so we had to hire an independent company. The cost, $17 and hour, over $12,000 a month. Ouch! Even though he has full time caregivers, we are still very much involved with his care and needs. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">During this time we learned he did not have the important documents that should have been in place. He did not have a Healthcare Advanced Directive, a Durable Power of Attorney, a Do Not Resuscitate, and a Will/Trust. Thank goodness he has Long Term Care Insurance to cover his full time care, but it has a 60 day deductible/elimination period. Which means he has to pay for the first 60 days of full time care. Yes, he has Medicare with Supplemental insurance, but it does not cover Long Term Care with a full time caregiver unless you spend down your money to a certain amount to go on Medical Long Term Care and go into a nursing home facility, not always the best care. We have tried for several years to have him put these into place, but he never felt the need. Now he has the need! Fortunately, we were able to put all these into place, but it was stressful and a lot of work. What if he was unconscious or not mentally able to have done this? It would be a very difficult situation right now! </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>We all need to plan for this time of emergency in our life. It can happen to anyone of us or anyone we love.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What we have learned . . . </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1. We each need a health care plan for extended care, age does not matter. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2. We need certain documents in place before the event happens to take care of our future needs and allowing others to handle our affairs when we cannot. Please, do not make it difficult on your family. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3. We need to know who will take care of us if and when the time comes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">4. We need health insurance to cover our expenses, especially, long term care insurance if at all possible.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> It can be expensive but important when you way the cost down the road when you are without it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">5. Make sure the appropriate people, those listed as decision makers on your behalf, have copies of the documents. Doctors, DNR and Healthcare Advanced Directive and family member(s) who are listed in the Healthcare Advanced Directive, Durable Power of Attorney and Wills and Trust. We could not find my mother-in-laws will which made finalizing her affairs much more difficult. My brother-in-law did not have a Healthcare Advanced Directive which made the decision of turning off the respirator and letting him go our decision, so very difficult. Do not make your family make these decisions for you. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Please think about your care, or a family member, and your family if you became in need of care orfull time care or some type of long term medical assistance. Have a emergency plan in place!</b></span></span></div>

We should have have cooking equipment, like old pots, pans, skillets and utensils we can use. We have a large plastic container with such cooking equipment. You also need fuel for the type of cooking equipment you have, enough for 3+ months. </span></span></span></div>

What does it mean? The Webster Dictionary states, "the ability to make good judgments or decisions". People with horse sense are smart and practical and can be counted on to make good decisions. In an emergency situation we need good old-fashioned horse sense. Keep your head on your shoulders, stay calm, pray and listen to the guidance of the Holy Ghost and make good decisions. It could save your life, others and help you when disasters are upon you and about to strike. </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The other day I was sitting at my computer looking out of the window watching our backyard neighborhood squirrel. What a character! Each day I put out birdseed and bread for the birds and peanuts and sunflower seeds for the squirrel. There is also a small fountain and birdbath. As I watched the squirrel he was eating some of the peanuts and sunflower seeds and then taking some and burying them in my vegetable garden area. It is the beginning of Spring. Why would he already be burying and storing peanuts, Winter is a long ways away? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">But as I always say on this blog, do not wait until the storm is upon you to start preparing now! Just like the squirrel, we need to be preparing all the time, not just before the storm. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">My husband once read, </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"There are 3 types of people" </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Those who make things happen!</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Those who watch things happens!</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Those who wonder what happened! </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Which type are you? Are you the type that works toward your emergency preparedness, 72 Hour Emergency Backpacks, 3-Month Food Storage, etc? Are you the type that watches others prepare? Or, are you the type that wonders when disasters and emergency hit why others are not helping you?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Throughout the scriptures in the Bible, Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants we read about those who prepared and those who did not. Their outcomes were very different! We also here the admonishments and warning from our community, state and federal leaders, church leaders and general authorities. </span><br />

Those of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and others, just experienced and witnessed the most marvelous Annual General Conference this past weekend. Over and over we were admonished to listen to and follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost, to pray, to have faith, to keep the commandments and our covenants, to be obedient and prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Our new dear prophet and president of the church, Russell M. Nelson, stated, "But in the coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost". (Click <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2018/04/revelation-for-the-church-revelation-for-our-lives?lang=eng">here</a> to listen to or read his talk.) And, Elder Larry Y. Wilson, Of the Seventy, stated, "What an incomparable gift comes to those who put their faith in Jesus Christ. That gift is the Holy Ghost". (Click <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2018/04/take-the-holy-spirit-as-your-guide?lang=eng">here</a> to listen to or read his talk)<br />
<br />
I also know the Holy Ghost guides and directs us with temporally matters. It happens to me all the time. In the scriptures we are taught that all things are spiritually (Doctrine and Covenants 29:34). <br />
<br />

If we are constantly close to the Holy Ghost and listen to and follow the prompting immediately, we will be guided. directed, comforted and protected as promised in the scriptures and by our dear prophet and president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Russell M. Nelson.<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>3-Month Food Storage . . . </b></span><br />
<br />
<b>This year we are working towards a 3-Month Food Storage supply.</b>
Each families will be unique in that not one family eats the same
things. You will tailor your food storage according to what your family
will eat. Do not purchase items just because they are sale, your family
will not eat foods they do not like, and you have just wasted valuable
money that could be put towards foods they will eat.<br />
<br />
<b>A 3-Month Food Storage supply consists of commercially canned and
packaged food and home canning foods. You can also include frozen foods.
</b><br />
<br />
<b>In January </b>we worked on keeping track of what your family eats in a
month. Go back to January 2018 posting to see the details and a
printable chart to keep track. Now that you have figured out what your
family eats in a month you can set up an inventory notebook.<br />
<br />
<b>In February</b> I showed you how to set up your Food Storage and Emergency
Supply Inventory Notebook. Go back to the February 2018 positing to see
how to do this. <br />
<br />
<b>In March </b>we continued to add commercially canned and packaged
foods, frozen foods, and home canned foods to your 3-Month Food Storage.
Watch sales, allowing to purchase more. Keep track in your inventory
notebook. Rotate as needed.<br />
<br />
<b>This month, April, continue to add to your 3-Month Food Storage. </b><br />
<br />
<b>Big box stores vs regular grocery stores: </b>Recently I purchased a
case of Kirkland brand, 12 cans of green beans (14.5 oz each) at Costco
for $5.99. That works out to 50 cents a can, a great price. At the
regular grocery store like Safeway, Ralph's or Albertsons in Southern
California, USA they run, on sale, about $.70-$1.00. And of course, at
the discounts stores they are $1 each, but watch the expiration dates.
So clearly in this case the big box store is less expensive, but it
depends on the item. Do the math and watch your local grocery stores for
the best price. Watch for case lot sales too. <br />

Recently we have been dealing with the care of a cousin and we have been once again reminded of how important it is for all of us to have certain paper work (documents) in place. They should be kept in a safe place, like a fire proof safe, where others know where they are. Documents that give designated people a responsibility or listed as the "agent(s)" should also a copy. I know we do not want to think about these things but it is necessary, It is really hard on others to leave important decisions about our life. Several months ago we were given the decision to let my husband's brother pass on, or be on life support. How much better it would have been if he had the right documents in place. Know the laws in your state or country regarding how they need to be signed and witnessed. <br />
<br />
<b>Here are some examples:</b><br />
<br />
<b>Do Not Resuscitate (DNR):</b> A do-not-resuscitate order, or DNR order, is a
medical order written by a doctor. It instructs health care providers
not to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if a patients breathing
stops or if the patients heart stops beating. A DNR order is
created, or set up, before an emergency occurs. A DNR order allows you

<br />
The past few weeks I have been reading Alma and Third Nephi in the Book of Mormon. I got to the chapters were Captain Moroni and the Nephities are at war
with the Lamanities (Alma 50). And in Third Nephi where the Nephities
and Lamamities are at war with the Gadianton Robbers (Third Nephi 3). We are told to liken the scriptures to ourselves. I started thinking about these scriptures and how I can liken them to me. I realized we need to fortify our homes, our family and ourselves from the evils of the world both temporally and spiritually. We need to stand strong. How do we do this? Here is how Captain Moroni did it . .<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Temporally . . . </b></span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn4JDGkYMsOBhx9WuSdcy3psE2tdgum-e7hKzI6HJqVzgi5WjqWbkunaEhgEV4AokjXoXmBwlDbHSO9sdbh_ilNFANxUJslxoS47VRUJlNp7UY8QFgrBDFbqohyphenhyphen7sQc-VUE4k5akLxuN8/s1600/Captain+Moroni+fortfying+the+city+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1232" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn4JDGkYMsOBhx9WuSdcy3psE2tdgum-e7hKzI6HJqVzgi5WjqWbkunaEhgEV4AokjXoXmBwlDbHSO9sdbh_ilNFANxUJslxoS47VRUJlNp7UY8QFgrBDFbqohyphenhyphen7sQc-VUE4k5akLxuN8/s320/Captain+Moroni+fortfying+the+city+3.jpg" width="246" /></a> Each time Captain Moroni, along with the people, fortified their cities the Lamanities and Gadianton Robbers could not penetrate their cities. In Alma 50:1-4, 6 we read "And now it came to pass that Moroni did not stop making preparations for wary, or to defend his people against the Lamanities; ... , that they should commence in digging up heaps of earth round about all the cities, throughout all the land which was possessed by the Nephities. (v.1) And upon the top of these ridges of earth he caused that there should be timbers, yea, works of timbers built up to the height of a man, round about the cities. (v.2) And he caused that upon those works of timbers there should be a frame of pickets built upon the timbers round about; and they were strong and high. (v.3) And he caused towers to be erected that overlooked those works of pickets, and he caused places of security to be built upon those towers, that the tones and the arrows of the Lamanities could not hurt them. (v.4) Thus Moroni did prepare strongholds against the coming of their enemies, round about every city in all the land. (v6)" They gathered all the women, children and their provisions within the walls of the fortified cities.<br />
<br />
In Third Nephi the Nephities and Lamanites once again fortified their cities by the same means (3 Nephi 3:14), "And he caused that fortifications should be built round about them, and the strength thereof should be exceedingly great. ....". And once again they brought all their provisions into the cities (3 Nephi 4: 4). Their cities were fortified against the robbers, "..., for it was impossible for the robbers to lay siege sufficiently long to have any effect upon the Nephities, because of their much provision which they had laid up in store." (3 Nephi 4: 18). <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Spiritually . . .</b></span><br />
<br />
Captain Moroni knew they not only needed to fortify their cities temporally, but they also needed to fortify themselves spiritually against the evils of Satan. How did they do this? In 3 Nephi 3:25 we read, "..., they did repent of all their sins; and they put up their prayers unto the Lord their God, ....: And throughout the scriptures is says they lived in righteousness and kept the commandments of God. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>How can we fortify our homes and our lives?</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Temporally . . . </b></span><b> </b><br />
<br />
As the scriptures say, we need to fortify our homes with a firm foundation. How do we temporally fortify our homes? We need to be prepared in every way possible with extra food and water and other emergencies supplies we might need in times of disasters (natural or man made), civil unrest, sheltering in place, or what ever may come our way. We need to take good care of our homes as admonished by President Spencer W. Kimball. We cannot build motes or heaps of dirt with timbers around our home, but we be prepared as much as possible when the storms hit. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Spiritually . . .</b></span><br />
<br />
We need to fortify our home with the spirit of God. We need to make our home a haven from the temptations of the world, a home of righteousness, allowing the spirit to reside by the things we do and the things we allow into our home, television programs, the things we read, music, art, etc.. In Doctrine and Covenants 109:8, we read, "Organize yourselves; preparing every needful thing, and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God". We can fortify our homes spiritually by having daily family prayer, daily family scripture reading, individual daily prayer and scripture reading, Family Hone Evenly weekly, Family Councils once a month or weekly, attending church every Sunday (all meetings), partaking of the Sacrament each week, attending the temple on a regular basis, and by staying close to the Holy Ghost and following his guidance.<br />
<br />
The world and Satan are constantly trying to break through into our home, family and us. Our daughter recently posted on YouTube a personal experience of how they fortified their home and family spiritually. They are continually striving to make their home a Zion home, a Zion family and a Zion people. Please click<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4tV6Oo0pHw"> here</a> and watch their very touching and uplifting story. <br />
<br />
Elder W. Don Ladd taught: “When it starts raining, it is too late to
begin building the ark. … We … need to listen to the Lord’s spokesmen.
We need to calmly continue to move ahead and prepare for what will
surely come. We need not panic or fear, for if we are prepared,
spiritually and temporally, we and our families will survive any flood.
Our arks will float on a sea of faith if our works have been steadily
and surely preparing for the future” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1994,
37; or <i>Ensign,</i> Nov. 1994, 29).<br />

A few days ago I needed some pure vanilla extract and the regular grocery store wanted to much money. We have a local community grocery store I have gotten it from before. On our way home we stopped by to purchase some. As we entered the store we discovered their lights were out, the cashier said their electricity was out, they had no way to take my payment thinking I was using a debt or credit card and could not make change. I explained I was paying cash and I could give her the exact amount, would that work? We made our way back to the shelf were it was in the dark with a small flash light I keep in my purse and paid the cashier the exact amount. This experience confirmed to me the importance of keeping small bills and change with you at all times in your purse/wallet, car glove box or 72 Hour Emergency Backpack (which we keep in our car). Because I had the exact amount of money I was able to pay for it and leave while others stood in line and along the sides waiting for the electricity to come back on. There are going to be times when there is no electricity due to disasters, etc. and stores cannot sell you what you need because their cash registers do not work and they cannot scan the items or except debt or credit cards or make change for large bills. This is where the extract amount of cash helps.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3-Month Food Storage . . . </b></span><br />
<br />
<b>This year we are working towards a 3-Month Food Storage supply.</b>
Each families will be unique in that not one family eats the same
things. You will tailor your food storage according to what your family
will eat. Do not purchase items just because they are sale, your family
will not eat foods they do not like, and you have just wasted valuable
money that could be put towards foods they will eat.<br />
<br />
<b>A 3-Month Food Storage supply consists of commercially canned and
packaged food and home canning foods. You can also include frozen foods.
</b><br />
<br />
In January we worked on keeping track of what your family eats in a
month. Go back to January 2018 posting to see the details and a
printable chart to keep track. Now that you have figured out what your
family eats in a month you can set up an inventory notebook.<br />
<br />
In February I showed you how to set up your Food Storage and Emergency Supply Inventory Notebook. Go back to the February 2018 positing to see how to do this. <br />
<br />
This month, March, continue to add commercially canned and packaged foods, frozen foods, and home canned foods to your 3-Month Food Storage. Watch sales, allowing to purchase more. Keep track in your inventory notebook. Rotate as needed.<br />
<br />
<b>Big box stores vs regular grocery stores: </b>Recently I purchased a case of Kirkland brand, 12 cans of green beans (14.5 oz each) at Costco for $5.99. That works out to 50 cents a can, a great price. At the regular grocery store like Safeway, Ralph's or Albertsons in Southern California, USA they run, on sale, about $.70-$1.00. And of course, at the discounts stores they are $1 each, but watch the expiration dates. So clearly in this case the big box store is less expensive, but it depends on the item. Do the math and watch your local grocery stores for the best price. Watch for case lot sales too. <br />

This month add some type of shelter to your emergency supplies. If you already have a tent or other items to make a shelter inspect them for any damages or ones that might need replacing or update. After a disaster shelter will become very important to survival. You may not be able to stay in your home, you will need to provide some type of shelter from the elements. Check out the posting on the right under "Postings", then "Shelter" for more information.<br />

<b>Food storage entree meals/pouches: </b>I recently had a friend ask if there are any dehydrated entree meal products that have less salt content. Her husband has to watch his salt intake as many of us do. After checking with all the major emergency preparedness food storage companies I discovered they all have a high salt content. The reason for the high salt content is salt is a preservative. They do not use other preservatives, only salt.<br />
<br />
One way to get around the high salt content is when you add water to rehydrate the entree meals, add a whole potato or some pasta to the food while boiling it. The potato or pasta will help absorb some of the salt as it cooks. I prefer a potato because it is easily removed if you do not want to eat it.<br />
<br />
<b>Separate food storage #10 cans: </b>Another way to get around the high salt content in your long term food storage is to purchase food items separate, like vegetables, meats, fruits, etc. Because they are mostly freeze-dried, some are dehydrated, there is no need for the salt. Yes, it will take up more room and you will need to spend time preparing your food, but it will help with your issue of the high salt content. <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Suddenly . . .</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Sometimes we get a warning before a natural disaster strikes, like hurricanes and flooding. Sometimes there is no warning, like earthquakes and tornadoes. Even when there is a warning how prepared are we? I find in most cases, no matter how far in advance a warning can be some people do not heed the warning and are found unprepared for what is coming their way. When is it sudden they are lost. Those who live in natural disaster areas like the South and East Coast, U.S., are often not prepared for their seasonal natural weather like hurricanes, blizzards and flooding. Many run to the grocery stores and local hardware stores for supplies, only to find many items they need are not available, or long lines at the gas station. How many hurricane seasons does it take to be prepared ahead of the storms? Why do people go through this nightmare experience each hurricane, each natural weather season? WHY?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I do not get it! Why not be prepared ahead of time with food (canned goods), drinking water, candles with matches, flashlights with extra batteries, a battery operated radio, at least a half of tank of gas at all times in each car, emergency supplies, an evacuation plan, supplies to secure and board up the house? The same thing goes where ever you live where there are seasonal weather situations that could become a natural disaster very quickly, and other natural disasters or man made situations. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">We are admonished in the scriptures to be prepared over and over, and if we are, "there is no need to fear". Why not prepare ahead of time? </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">There is an old saying, I love old sayings, they are true and to the point. "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink". I can share with you my knowledge about being prepared but I cannot make you do it. You have to have the desire and see the need.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Our parents were a great example of always being prepared, being very frugal and taught us to be </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">self-reliant. They organized and planned way ahead. </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"> Our mother grew her own vegetable garden and froze the vegetables so she had them throughout the year. She bought fruits in season and froze them for throughout the year. She bought a side of beef each year, had it cut up and kept it in her deep freezer, not only saving a lot of money, but having meats for the family throughout the year. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">She would take her old clothes and make them into play clothes for us. They never wasted anything. They believed in the old saying, "Use it up, wear it out or do without". </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">They were wise and frugal, teaching us to make wise choices and the consequences there of. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">They saved money for rainy days. They lived on less than they made. They taught us the difference between "wants and needs". My Dad, and Mom, knew how to fix things when they broke, not having to pay someone to fix it or buy a new one, again, saving money. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">They taught the value of hard work and not to be afraid to work hard. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">They taught us to be as self-reliant and to take care of ourselves and our own needs. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;">I am grateful for the things our parents </span><span style="font-size: small;">taught us! </span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Sunday we had a special Stake Conference with a Broadcast from our General Authorities. Our Stake President spoke first. I am grateful for his wise words of advise on self-reliance.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">In Doctrine and Covenants 104: 11-15 we read, "It is wisdom in me, therefore, a commandment I give unto you, that ye shall organize yourselves and appoint every man his stewardship (11). That every man may gave an account unto me of the stewardship which is appointed unto you (12). For it is expedient that I , the Lord, should make every man accountable, as a steward over earthly blessings, which I have made and prepared for my creatures(13). I, the Lord, stretched out the heaves, and built the earth, my very handiwork; and all things therein are mine (14). And it is my purpose to provide for my saints, for all things are mine. (15)."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">"He will provide temporal blessings and open the door for self-reliance. Self-reliance invites and helps members (people) in faith, education, hard work and trust in the Lord. Blessings of self-reliance are hope, peace and progress. We need to council with the Lord on our finance, in family councils, council with our spouse and listen and follow our church leaders who are there to guide us and protect us." (Torrance Stake President, Roy Olsen)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>3-Month Food Storage . . . </b></span><br />
<br />
<b>This year we are working towards a 3-Month Food Storage supply.</b> Each families will be unique in that not one family eats the same things. You will tailor your food storage according to what your family will eat. Do not purchase items just because they are sale, your family will not eat foods they do not like, and you have just wasted valuable money that could be put towards foods they will eat.<br />
<br />
<b>A 3-Month Food Storage supply consists of commercially canned and packaged food and home canning foods. You can also include frozen foods. </b><br />
<br />
Last month we worked on keeping track of what your family eats in a month. Go back to January 2018 posting to see the details and a printable chart to keep track. Now that you have figured out what your family eats in a month you can set up an inventory notebook.<br />
<br />
Of course, you should already be purchasing cans and packages of commercial foods like in the photo above. Hopefully, you have cleaned out a cupboard, linen closet or some other places to store your food. See last month posting, January 2018, for ideas.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Note: Some of our children have small deep floor freezers for frozen foods.</b> They keep the freezer in their garage or basement. When items go on sale then stock up. This also becomes your 3-Month Food Storage. Rotate to your regular refrigerator freezer when needed. You could have a separate inventory chart for the deep freezer. Cost new $200-$300, used less than $200.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>You can set up your inventory anyway you want. </b> You can set it up by categories; vegetables, fruits, meats, pastas, seasoning, etc.. Or, where they are stored; what cupboard, what shelf, etc. Each table should include the item name, how many of them you have, servings (optional), date/expires and where stored (5 columns across). I got about 25 rows down on the first page due to the title. It is really up to you and how you want to set up your inventory notebook, what works best for you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>You should inventory your 3-Month Food Storage about every 3 months since it can change. </b>If you use something from the 3-Month Food Storage replace it as soon as possible. Write it on your next grocery list so you do not forget to replace it. The new cans or packages need to go behind the older ones so you use the older ones first. Rotation is the key to any good food storage. <b> How I do it-</b>-When I use something from my regular pantry I replace it from items in my 3-Month Food Storage then I replace those items as soon as possible. This way you are continually rotating your food storage. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Note:</b> I also set up a separate inventory chart for your long term food storage the same way. On our Miscellaneous and Emergency Supplies I only used 3 columns; "Item", "How many" and "Where stored". These items usually do not have expiration dates to be concerned about. I divided them by the type; Lighting/Electricity, Cooking, Sanitation, Fuel/Heating, Shelter, Communication/Radios, Water, Paper Products, Cleaning Supplies, Hygiene Products, Medical Supplies, 72 Hour Individual Emergency Preparedness Backpacks, Emergency Family Bag, Tools, Miscellaneous, etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Rules for the 3-Month Food Storage:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Never purchase dented or bubbled commercial cans of food. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Watch for expiration dates on all commercially canned, packaged and frozen foods. Especially, if you purchase them at discount stores like the 99 Cent Store, the Dollar Tree or Dollar General. Many times they are selling them because they are either already expired or will expire shortly (with in a few months).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Most commercially canned foods expire 2-3 years from the purchase date. Frozen foods are usually 1 year. Packaged foods 1-2 years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Even if a commercially canned food has expired it is still good as long as the can is not dented or bubbled. The only problem is that the nutritional value diminishes over time. So use them as quickly as possible by placing them in your regular pantry and replace them in your 3-Month Food Storage immediately. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Store all foods in a cool (70 degrees or cooler), dry, dark place. Never store in garage or attic, they are too hot. If in a garage attached to the house store along the wall attached to the house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Rotation, rotation, rotation is the key to any food storage. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Blessings of a 3-Month Food Storage:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. You feel peace of mind knowing you are prepared.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. When there is a disaster and others are running to the grocery stores to stock up you hare already prepared.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. When you find you are missing an ingredient for a dish for dinner in your pantry you do not need to go to the grocery store, you can pull it from your 3-Month Food Storage, then replace it the next time you go grocery shopping. This has happened to me many times. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. You can purchase items when on sale and stock up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Heavenly Father will bless us when we following the admonishing of our church leaders and the scriptures because we are being obedient.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. You can help others in time of need.</div>

<br />
A few days ago I woke up a little after 1:00 AM and found our electricity was out. The house was pitch black so I reached for the small LED flashlight on the night stand by our bed. I checked our neighbors across the street and they had electricity. I checked our neighbor next door and hers was out too, she leaves a front room light on at night. Our electricity was out for hours, downed electrical wires. So it got me thinking to make this month's emergency preparedness supply lighting.<br />

<br />
<b>If you already have emergency lighting items in your emergency supplies,</b> check them to make sure they are working properly and you have extra batteries or fuel for those items that require them. Each room should have a small LED or regular flashlight near by. You should have at least one LED lantern or propane lantern, candles with candle holders and matches. <b>Warning:</b> Do not light candles if you smell a gas leak, there will be an explosion. Candles can also cause fires, use with great caution. <br />

<br />
This
past year 2017 has been overwhelming hearing about all the natural
disasters just in the United States, hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding and wildfires. <br />
<br />
This 2018 we have set goals for
our Torrance California Stake and Wards. Anyone following this blog is
welcome to follow our 2018 emergency preparedness goals to become better
prepared. We will be working on these goals throughout 2018.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Each family acquire a 3-Month Supply of Food and Water </b><span style="font-size: small;">(We will be working on this for 2018. See the Monthly Assignment below.)</span><b><br /></b></span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Each family member have a 72 Hour Individual Emergency Preparedness Backpack</b></span> (See last years monthly assignments from January 2017 to December 2017 if you have not completed yours or need to update.) </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Each Ward offer a First-Aid/CPR Class for its members</b></span> (Information on how to set this up to following in a few weeks) </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Each Family have at least one items in each Emergency Supply Category </b></span>(Cooking, lighting/electricity, heating, shelter, sanitation, etc.) </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Each individual and family become better prepared for the type of disaster in your area</b></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">First, my heart and prayers go out to all those you have lost loved ones, property and who have experienced devastation from the disasters throughout the United States. May you find peace and comfort. </span></div>

<b>Hurricane Maria</b>, category 4, hit Puerto Rico head-on causing devastation to the island and its infrastructure, flooding and mudslides. Many areas are still without the necessities of clean drinking water, power, shelter and food. As of today they only have 50% of their power restored. Authorities say it will takes months, maybe years to rebuild and resources to return. It also hit Dominica and the Bahamas. 38 deaths. <br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3-Month Food Storage . . .</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Many years ago members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-days Saints were admonished to store a years supply of food, mainly the basics: wheat, oats, beans, rice, honey, powdered milk, salt. A few years ago the church realized this was overwhelming for many members and the First Presidency announced that each house hold should first work on getting a 3-months supply of commercially canned (and home canned) and packed foods, foods their family eat on a daily basis. This year we are going to work on our 3-months supply of food (and water) storage. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Assignment:</b> This month keep track of everything you as an individual or family eats in a 2-4 week period. Most families eat the same thing within a 2 week period. Attached below you will see a chart for each week to print and put on your refrigerator. Each time you eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks write down the items. Once you have done this write down the ingredients for each meal and dish you make, include all ingredients in the dish, including seasonings and spices. Also, include when ever you eat out. This will give you a basis of what your family eats in 2 weeks. You can do it for 4 weeks to get a better list. Once you have done this start adding those items to your food storage. You can start adding canned and packaged items to your food storage before you finish this assignment. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">First work towards a 2 week food supply, then a month, then 2-months, 3-months. You will be amazed how fast it will <span style="color: red;">accumulate</span> by adding extra cans and packages of food each time you go grocery shopping. Especially pay close attention to sales items. Then you can buy more. Keep an inventory of what you have. If you have already started your 3-month food storage, take inventory of what you have and continue to add until you reach your goal.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>YOU CAN DO IT! </b></span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">DO NOT PURCHASE DAMAGED OR DENTED CANS OR PACKAGES! </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>WARNING:</b> Watch purchasing food from discounts stores like The 99 Cent Store, The Dollar Tree, etc. They are usually selling items that will expire very shortly, a waste of your money. You are looking for longer term storage, 2-5 years. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>ONLY STORE WHAT YOUR FAMILY WILL EAT!</b> Do not waste your money on buying something just because it is on sale, full well knowing your family will not eat it. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Be creative.</b> This is the time of year when we tend to clean out closets and reorganize. One idea is to move linens to a drawer and use the linen closet for your commercially canned and packaged foods. Under the bed storage containers also work well. Living/family room side lamp table and coffee tables should be purchased allowing storage space. You will probably have your food storage in various places throughout the house. In your inventory keep a record of where they are stored. If you can keep from it, DO NOT STORE YOUR FOOD IN THE GARAGE OR ATTIC, it is too hot. If you must store in your garage, store along the wall attached to the house. (See under "Postings", Food Storage, on the right for more storage ideas.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>How to store: </b>Store in a cool, dry, dark place, under 70 degrees if possible. The cooler the storage place the longer the food will last. The warmer the shelf life diminishes faster. You can eat commercially canned and packages foods past their expiration dates as long as they are not dented or the lids are bubbled. The food nutrition value diminishes over time after the expiration date. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>ROTATION, ROTATION, ROTATION </b>is the main rule of food storage. When you purchase new cans or packages of food replace them with ones in your food storage that will expire soon. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Do not worry about long term food storage at this point. First acquire your 3-Months Food Storage. Once you have done that then start adding long term freeze-dried and dehydrated foods. </b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>A promise from Heavenly Father . . .</b></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
"And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled. And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God he doth nourish them, and strengthen them, and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing which he has commanded them; . . . " (1 Nephi 17:3)<br />
<br />
"But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he had denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." (1Timothy 5:8)<br />
<br />
In other words, it is our responsibility alone to provide for our own, our family, it is a commandment from Heavenly Father. And, if we do Heavenly Father will provide a way when we keep his commandments.<br />

asked me where I got my backpack from. I found that the ones from
emergencyessentials.com are really good. They have 3 different size,
small, medium and large. I purchased the medium size one. It is great
and has enough room for your 3 kits (food kit, hygiene kit and
stressor kit), extra clothing and other needed items I will list
after we complete the 3 kits. There backpacks are now black. Click<a href="https://beprepared.com/searchanise/result?q=backpacks">

</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"> If you have been following the monthly assignment since January 2017
you should have completed each house hold member's Food Kit (including

back to January 2017 and scroll through the postings through October
2017. </span></span></span><br />

Note: You could have one<br />
filtration bottle for each adult in the family so you can filter water for each family member, or each family member can have their own in case you are separated. I fill you will need more water that what is in the food kit.<br />

<b>The most important thing you can do after a disaster when filing a claim is to document, document, document and cross all your "t" and dot all your "i".</b> Why do I say this? Having worked as an insurance agent for a major company for several years this is one thing I have learned. Recently I also read an article in the South Bay Daily Breeze regarding people in various parts of the country who suffered from natural disasters, but because they did not document well enough, their claims were denied or appealed. Yikes! All because they did not document enough or correctly? Yep!<br />
<br />
Here are some tips to help you if you experience a natural disaster or some other type of accident (car accident or home fire, etc.).<br />
<br />
<b>1. Know what your insurance policies cover and do not cover.</b> Read your insurance policies carefully. If you do not understand what they are saying, sit down with your insurance agent, ask questions and make any adjustments that need made.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Most people in the United States do not realize their homeowners policy does not cover flood, mudslides or earthquakes. </b>Those are separate policies. Flood Insurance comes from the National Flood Insurance. Earthquake Insurance comes from your current homeowners insurance company or possibly your state earthquake insurance. Home insurance includes, renters, homeowner condo, homes and rental dwelling property. Businesses are covered under a commercial policy.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Most home insurance policies only cover up to a certain amount on personal items like jewelry, computers, sports equipment, art work, etc.. </b>You may need a Personal Articles Policy if they are over your current policy coverage limits.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Before a disaster happens, take photos and videos inside your house. </b>Take photos of all your belongs, even open closet doors and drawers to take photos. Keep an inventory of all your personal possessions. Take photos of things like crown moldings, granite counter tops, custom cabinets, etc. Any thing that would need replacing back to its original condition. Keep copies of receipts for upgrades and remodeling. Keep copies of the photos, videos, inventory and receipts in your home, a safe deposit box, and at a family member or friend's home who lives out of state. If you have cash registered receipts, make copies of them, they fade over time.<br />
<br />
<b>5. After a disaster happens, call your insurance agent as soon as possible to file a claim.</b><br />
<br />
<b>6. Document, document, document all conversations with dates, time called, who you spoke with and what you and they said. </b>Keep a note book. Note: It is against the law to record a phone conversation without some one's permission. Save all email and text correspondence. Personal experience: Our daughter was in a car accident at the beginning of the year where there were injuries to her and her 2 children. Having a mother who worked in the insurance industry I told her to document all conversations, emails and text. Because she did this they received a good settlement.<br />
<br />
FEMA and insurance companies have denied claims due to unsatisfactory documentation. FEMA has been known to ask for money back if the claim is not documented to their satisfaction. (dailybreeze.com, Sunday, October 15, 2017. "FEMA rejects $1.2B in appeals", by David A. Lieb and Ryan J. Foley, the Associated Press) Make sure you are covered when a disaster or accident happens to you. It only takes a few minutes to document things that are important to you.<br />

kit), extra clothing and other needed items I will list after we
complete the 3 kits. There backpacks are now black. Click<a href="https://beprepared.com/searchanise/result?q=backpacks"> here</a> to see them. </span></span><br />

I saw these on Shark Tank last month. <b>Personally I would not purchase them. </b>Then are too expensive, $350-$370. I think you are more paying for the fancy pack the emergency supplies come in. Plus there is not enough food and water to sustain for 3 days.<br />
<br />
It would be a lot less expensive to purchase the items individually and set up your own personal 72 Hours Emergency Preparedness Backpacks. Most of these items can be purchased in discount stores, emergencyessentials.com, other online companies and other retail stores.<br />
<br />
Since January we have been working on the 72 Hour Individual Emergency Preparedness Backpacks, including the Food Kit, Hygiene Kit and Stressor kit. Ours provides much more for a lesser cost. Be wise, be smart!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Why store ingredients for your food storage?</b></span><br />
<br />
1. A readily available source of food<br />
2. Insurance for the next economic crisis<br />
3. Peace of mind knowing you are provided for, no matter what<br />

<b>So many times we talk about being prepared, but why are we doing this?</b> We are preparing for what comes after the disaster. Yes, we need to prepare before so we have the supplies we will need during the disasters, like plywood to board up windows during a hurricane and flashlights when we loose our electricity, etc.. But what about afterwords, what will we need?<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have been listening to many news reports after the hurricanes hit Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Porto Rico and the other Islands and the earthquakes hit Mexico. What do they all have in common? There is no food, no drinking water, no electricity, no natural gas, no sanitation, no cell phone reception, stores are closed or destroyed, no gas stations open, etc. We need to prepare for the aftermath. First responders and rescuers may take hours, days, weeks to get to us. Why not have food, drinking water, flashlights with extra batteries, emergency sanitation and ways to cook ready before the disaster the strikes? What about medical supplies for those injured? Trying to get these supplies after the disaster is almost impossible if not impossible due to lack of supplies and being able to get to them.<br />
<br />
We are told in the scriptures, "If ye are prepared, ye have no need to fear". In Doctrine and Covenants, Section 136: 5, as the Saints were departing Nauvoo, Illinois to the West they were told to prepare, "Let each company provide themselves with all the teams, wagons, provisions, clothing, and other necessities (food, etc.) for the journey, that they can". In verse 27 they were admonished to "be a wise steward". We are admonished by our church leaders and local authorities to prepare in our day with our 72 Hour Individual Emergency Preparedness Backpacks, food, drinking water, and emergency and medical supplies for what ever may come our way and to be wise stewards.<br />
<br />
Do not become complacent once the disasters have passed, now is the time to prepare for what may happen in the future. Why not start now?</div>

<br />
A few weeks ago in our Sacrament Meeting our Stake Young Men's Presidency First Counselor shared some interesting thoughts about what he had learned from serving a full time mission. I would like to apply to emergency preparedness.<br />
<br />
<b>1) Obedience: </b>If we are obedient to the scriptures, teachings and admonishes of our church leaders and local authorities regarding being prepared we will be blessed. (See Doctrine and Covenants 82:10)<br />
<br />
<b>2) Prayer:</b> Though prayer we can receive inspiration as how to prepare and what we need for ourselves and our families. Through inspiration from the Holy Ghost we will be protected and guided.<br />
<br />
<b>3) Organization: </b>When our lives and households are organized we have no need to fear. (Doctrine and Covenants 90:18) <br />
<br />
<b>4) Seek the Spirit: </b>The Holy Ghost will protect us and guide us when danger is close. He will inspire us what we need to do to provide for our ourselves and our family. (Galatians 5:22-23,25)<br />
<br />
<b>5) Share: </b>Share the importance of being prepared with your extended family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. Share this blog website with them. (Doctrine and Covenants 88:81)<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">About ago week the Spirit said to me, "You will be your own first responder in a disaster situation". I have been pondering on this message for several days. Little did I know at the time that the hurricane in Houston, Texas and Louisiana would prove this message. As I have watched the hurricane events unfold on the TV news stations I can see how this message is true. It may take hours, days, weeks before first responsers or help can arrive, especially if roads are blocked. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">One story I listened to was a man, not a first responder as we think of, out in his boat, as many have been doing, to see who he could help. He saw a woman on her front porch with the water up to the porch. He asked if she needed rescued. Her response, "I have called 911 and am waiting for them". His responded back to her, "They are not coming, I am it. Do you want to come with me?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">In disaster situations like this we will be "our own first responders" and our neighbors. We will probably be alone and need to handle things ourselves and help our neighbors the best we can. There will be no first responders, no firemen, no police officers and no medical help. We will most likely be on our own. How well will you be able to take care of yourself, your family and help your neighbors? How prepared are you? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">In another report I heard the news caster say there is no electricity, very little communication, no sanitation, no drinking water, no food, no shelter for many and no one on the way to help. You are on your own!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">We individually need to be prepared for what every disaster or emergency situation may come our way. We need to be prepared to be our own first responders. </span><br />
<br />

As parents we try to protect our children from witnessing terrible things. I love how the beloved Mr. Rogers' mother helped him. Such a good idea . . .<br />

Each new school year for our children and grandchildren is a new beginning. A new time to prepared and learn. We are like these children, it is a time for us to prepare and learn. We need to be prepared for all the types of disasters that can effect us where we live. We need to store food, drinking water, emergency electricity in the way of flashlights and lanterns, etc., a way for sanitation, some type of shelter to protect us from the elements. This is a new school year, a new beginning. This is a new beginning for us, a time to prepare. Why not start now?<br />

The Mormon Pioneers sang this beloved hymn as they where forced from their homes and crossed the plains to Utah. Our world is in turmoil. I find great comfort and peace in these words . . .<br />
<br />
Come, come ye Saints, no toil nor labor fear;<br />
But with joy wend your way.<br />
Though hard to you this journey may appear,<br />
Grace shall be as your day.<br />
"Tis better far for us to strive<br />
Our useless cares from us to drive:<br />
Do this, and joy your heart's will swell--<br />
All is well! All is well!<br />
<br />
Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard?<br />
"Tis not so; all is right.<br />
Why should we think to earn a great reward<br />
If we now shun the fight?<br />
Gird up your loins: fresh courage take.<br />
Our God will never us forsake;<br />
And soon we'll have this tale to tell--<br />
All is well! All is well!<br />
<br />
We'll find the place which God for us prepared,<br />
Far away in the West,<br />
Where none shall come to hurt or make afraid,<br />
There the Saints will be blessed.<br />
We'll make the air with music ring,<br />
Shout praises to our God and King;<br />
Above the rest these words we'll tell--<br />
All is well! All is well!<br />
<br />
And should we die before our journey's through,<br />
Happy day! All is well!<br />
We then are free from toil and sorrow, too,<br />
With the just we shall dwell!<br />
But if our lives are spared again<br />
To see the Saints their rest to obtain,<br />
Oh, how we'll make this chorus swell--<br />
All is well! All is well!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Emergency Preparedness Ideas </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Important Warnings . . . </b></span><br />
<br />
When
ever there is a disaster I listen to the news reports on CNN and Fox
News for information that might help me help you when and if a disaster
hits you. It may be a different type of disaster like an earthquake,
tsunami, flooding, hurricane, tornado, etc.. But the warnings are
basically the same.<br />
<br />
<b>1) Evacuate: </b>When officials,
be it local or federal, say "EVACUATE", EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY! When you
do not you are likely to put yourself, your family and the rescuers in
harms way. Be smart! No material things are worth your life or the life
of others.<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b> I</b></span>t is important to have 72 Hour Emergency Preparedness
Backpacks for each family house hold member ready at all times. Also to keep important papers and
documents together. It is a good idea to make copies of all insurance
and important papers/documents you might need and put them in your 72
Hour Emergency Preparedness Backpacks. Also, have a map, or maps of your local street areas. You many need to find alternate routes to be to a safe place. <br />
<br />
<b>2) Standing Water: </b>When
you see standing water, DO NOT CROSS IT! You do not know the depth of
the water, the condition under neath the water, if there are live
electrical wires somewhere electrocuting the water, or other dangers.
Water is powerful and can have strong under currents you cannot see.
Stay safe and keep others safe. Do not take the risk!<br />
<br />
<b>3) Lighting: </b>Every
house hold should have good working flashlights with extra batteries at
all times. You never know when you might need them. I heard many people
in the Texas Hurricane Harvey say they had no flashlights, they could
not see the rising water and the dangers they were in during the night.<br />
<br />
<b>4) Insurance Coverage:</b>
Know what your homeowners, renters and auto insurance cover. Homeowners
and renters do not cover flooding, a separate policy. Earthquake is
also a separate insurance policy.<br />
<br />
<b>5) Food and Drinking Water:</b>
Good to keep extra cans and packaged food items on hand. A friend of
mine's son is trapped on the second floor of his apartment in Louisiana
with no food. You also may need a way to cook it or eat it cold.<br />
<br />
<b>6) The Holy Ghost:</b> Pay attention to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and follow them immediately. It could save your life and others.<br />
<br />
<b>7) Car Gas Tank: </b>Always keep your car gas tanks at least half full. It will probably give you enough gas to evacuate to a safe place. <br />
<br />
<b>8) Cars after flooded:</b> Never, never, never drive a car that has been under water. It damages the electrically system and could cause a fire if you started it or tried to drive it. <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Physical Preparedness . . .</b></span><br />
<br />
Most of us cringe when we think about physical preparedness. I know I did until about 4 months ago. I always had excuses for not being in shape physically and eating healthier. Being physically prepared is just as important as all the other areas we need to be prepared in, food and water storage, emergency supplies, etc.. After many months, years of giving excuses, I finally set some goals and am striving to accomplish them. I want to loose weight and be physically strong. When we are physically prepared we will be able to survive a disaster situation better. <br />
<br />
<b>Let me share my journey of striving to becoming better </b><br />
<b> physically prepared . . . </b> <br />
<ul>
<li>First, I had to realize that no one else can do this but me. My body is a temple, a gift from Heavenly Father. It is my responsibility to take good care of it so my Spirit can reside there. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Then I had to sat into motion a plan, just like setting up a food storage goal and plan. Find a buddy or family member to do this with. Our family, mostly my daughters and granddaughters, have sat up a team where we help and encourage each other. Since we all live far apart, we sat up a family Facebook page where we all weight in weekly, only our family members can see it. It is working great and great to have support from others. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Then I sat small goals to accomplish the big one. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I figured out how much I needed to loose, then sat small goals to accomplish it.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I found a diet plan I could work with, it was Weight Watchers. (I love the online app on my phone.) Not some crazy fad diet. Reasonable and practical. Eating more fruits and vegetables and staying away from all the junk foods, but allowing me from time to time to have a piece of birthday cake if I desire. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I sat up an exercised program. I started out small, at first I could barely walk around my block. I kept increasing it until I could do 10 blocks. It hurt at first. I had problems with my sciatic nerve and arthritis in my knee, making walking painful at first. I kept pushing and increasing the distance. After awhile with losing some weight and exercising I noticed no more pain. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Then after losing a certain amount of weight, 10-15 pounds, I decided to start doing aerobics. I do an hour a day, except Sundays. At first, it was difficult. I thought I was going to pass out. I had to start small and increase as my strength and ability increased. Now I can get through the whole program, tried at the end, but I can do it. I always feel so much better after I am done.</li>
</ul>
<b>The results-</b>-So far, I have lost 30+ pounds since April, no longer in pain, and am in much better shape physically. I have realized this is for a lifetime. Not just for a few months or a year.<br />
<br />
<b>Why did I want to do this? </b>Of course, to look better and feel better, but also, because if a disaster or emergency situation comes, I will be healthier and stronger. I may need to walk some distance to safety. I may need to carry my 72 Individual Emergency Preparedness Backpack for some distance. I will have a higher chance of surviving an injury, which could turn into a serious infection.<br />
<br />
<b>Important: </b>Always check with your doctor before starting a diet or exercise program.<br />
<br />

<br />
May we each strive to be healthier by eating healthier and getting some type of exercise, no matter how small it may be. I know some of you physically cannot exercise as others. Talk to your doctor about an exercise program that will work for you.<br />

The Stressor Kit contains items that will help you and your household family member better handle the stressful situation of a disaster or emergency situation. For the next few weeks will be adding 4 items, one each week for 4 weeks. You can purchase most of these items at the 99 Cent Store, The Dollar Tree, The Dollar General, Big Lots or other discount stores. A few items may need to be purchased at a regular store like Target or WalMart. Some you may have around your house. There are only 10 items in this kit. The complete list is below for those who want to complete this kit faster.<br />

<b>Remember:</b> You will need one Stressor Kit per household member. Place each item as we add them into a large zip lock plastic bag, write each family members name on their Stressor Kit and put it into their 72 Hour Individual Emergency Preparedness Backpack. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I would like to change this a little to "I know, in the strength of the Lord <i>I </i>canst do all things". I strongly believe and know from experiences Heavenly Father has a plan for each one of us. If we stray off that path he will do all that he can to bring us back to it. I know that through prayer and faith we can receive the strength we need to overcome whatever obstacle passes our path. As I listen to news report interviews of people who are going through or have been through a disaster, I can spot the ones who have faith and hope in their Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ. I know those who have prepared the best they can know Heavenly Father will bless them with their needs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It is our responsibility to prepare both spiritually and temporally. We will find peace when we do. When we procrastinate in our spiritual and temporal preparation it is no ones fault but our own. We will feel turmoil and unsettling in knowing we are not prepared. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Many think it is so hard to prepare. They cannot do it. But I say, "Yes you can!". It takes baby steps, one at a time. The best thing any of us can do is to just start now. No more procrastination, no more excuses. Set small goals. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For spiritual goals, decide to read one verse, or one chapter, in the scriptures daily, thank Heavenly Father daily and ask for guidance in prayer, go to church, for LDS members, attend the temple regularly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For temporal goals, decide you will start a food storage goal by adding commercially canned and packaged foods your family will eat each time you go grocery shopping, just 2-5 extra ones a week. Before you know it you will have a 3-Month Food Storage supply. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It is not hard if you take baby steps, small goals help us accomplish the main goal. You can do it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">“Believe in yourself [and] in your capacity to do great and good things.
Believe that no mountain is so high that you cannot climb it. Believe
that no storm is so great that you cannot weather it. Believe that you
can do whatever it is that you set your heart on. [As you do this,]
opportunities will unfold and open before you [and] the skies will clear
when they have been dark. [Remember that] you are not destined to
[fail]. You are a child of God, of infinite capacity.” –Gordon B.
Hinckley </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Why should you always keep at least a half of tank of gas in your vehicles?</b></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8cMHUt3NFKAkC2RNbwtUJOXyoXVNO9dn6O8evvT5sn5T5MYr89tMIUlsYd3axRaP-QUQR2aOGoP8cMKtnAbH_MPO5l8RZ9TDS1BunM4AB4LIonjzphQNy3OOqrAS6q7EqhKto77OHfqY/s1600/gas+meter.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="199" data-original-width="253" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8cMHUt3NFKAkC2RNbwtUJOXyoXVNO9dn6O8evvT5sn5T5MYr89tMIUlsYd3axRaP-QUQR2aOGoP8cMKtnAbH_MPO5l8RZ9TDS1BunM4AB4LIonjzphQNy3OOqrAS6q7EqhKto77OHfqY/s320/gas+meter.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
1) You never know when you might need to evacuate immediately and you have no time to get gas. A half of a tank will usually get you pretty far to safety.<br />
<br />
2) What if there is no electricity? The gas pumps will not work.<br />
<br />
3) What if you are stuck on the freeway or highway for several hours? You may run out of gas if you are running your vehicle. Many times we have heard in news reports of vehicles running out of gas in bad weather situations or accidents where it takes hours to clear the roads. <br />
<br />
Note: It is good, when and were possible, to keep a couple of 5 gallon gas cans full of gas for emergency situations. Make sure your rotate the gas every few months and you keep in away from your house or other structures and out of the sun. You can keep it in your garage, but away from any connecting walls to your house. Only store gas in regulated gas cans.<br />

The other day I heard <span style="font-size: small;">this</span><b> </b>old saying. I love old sayings, they are so true! I started this blog July 1, 2010, 7 years ago, to help others become better prepared and to teach them the easiest way I know how, step by step. We are told in Isaiah 28:10 (KJV), "For precept, must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little and there a little:" What great advise from our Heavenly Father. There is no need to feel overwhelmed with starting your food storage and emergency preparedness. Just start, one thing at a time, 1 can or package of food at a time. <br />
<br />
If you started following the monthly assignments on this blog in January you would have started your 72 Hour Individual Emergency Preparedness Backpacks for each family member in your house hold. You would have already completed the Food Kit for each family member and now be working on the Hygiene Kit. Each week I have given you an assignment to add to the Food Kits and currently the Hygiene Kit. If you have not started then start now. "If you do what you have always done (procrastinate), you will get what you always gotten (not being prepared)". "Do not cry over split milk", but start today. Change how you do things so you can get better things, like being prepared for whatever may come your way. Having peace of mind knowing you are prepared and are striving. Heavenly Father will bless you. <br />
<br />
Did you know it is a commandment from God to be prepared and our responsibility to take care of our own families? In 1 Timothy 5:8 (KJV) we read, "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel (unfaithful, unbeliever in the gospel of Jesus Christ)." It is no one else responsibility, not our church, not our local or federal government, no one else but ours.<br />
<br />
We all need change, we all need to be better prepared! <br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Food kits: </b>When you purchase the
food items make sure they have a least a year before they expire. Be
careful in purchasing any of the food items from a discount store like
the 99 Cent Store or Dollar General. Many times the expiration dates are
in just a few days, weeks or months. If you store your backpack in your
car the food needs to be rotated every 6 months due to the heat. In
your home or at work in your office, every year. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Family Emergency Notebook . . .</span></b><br />
<br />
Every family should have a Home and Food Emergency Preparedness Notebook. In it will be dividers for Food Storage, Emergency Supplies, Recipes (ways to use your food storage, especially your long term), etc. You create and add what is relevant to your family. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Food Storage Inventory Chart . . .</b></span><br />
<br />
Click on the link below and you will see a long term and short term food storage chart I created. It will help you keep track of what you have and what you need, how much you have of each item listed and when it will expire. You can also add in where it is stored in your house. Print out the document, inventory your food storage and keep it in your Home and Family notebook. It is best to inventory your food storage every 3 months, to see what needs to be used soon, what needs to be replaced and where you need to add items. You can add items you use that are not on the chart.<br />
<br />
You will be amazed at how much your have, where you need to improve and a reminder of what you need. <br />
<br />
It is good to keep track and have a chart of your emergency supplies too.<br />

The end of the summer season is a great time too. Watch for sales in your area, check out the sporting goods stores and big box stores. In an emergency situation you might need shelter, why not prepare for that now! <br />

This month I am going to take a quote from Emergency Essentials . . .<br />
<br />
"Disasters come in all shapes and sizes. Likewise, so should your emergency preparations. You see, the more options you have available, the more power you have over disasters and emergencies. There is power that comes with preparedness, . . .<br />
<br />
"Think about it. What do you do everyday? If you're like most people, these activities include: (I have added a few others.)<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Eating/food</li>
<li>Drinking water</li>
<li>Cooking </li>
<li>Turning on lights</li>
<li>Bathing</li>
<li>Washing your hair</li>
<li>Sanitation</li>
<li>Sleeping safely and warm</li>
<li>Heating</li>
<li>Medical emergencies </li>
<li>Using your cell phone</li>
<li>And so much more!</li>
</ul>
Other things that can happen . . . <br />
<ul>
<li>Evacuations</li>
<li>Sheltering in place </li>
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>
"During disasters and emergencies, each of the generic, every day things you do can be taken from you in an instant. That is, if you're not prepared. Counter life's unexpected twists and turns by preparing ahead. Food, storage, water barrels, power sources, alternative cooking methods, <i>food storage, 73 Hour Emergency Preparedness Backpacks (items added) </i>and options for shelter are just some of the ways you can prepare for the future.<br />
<br />
"You can't always choose the outcome of life's unexpected events, but you can choose how you'll fare during the aftermath. Power up today for the events of tomorrow."<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Backpacks: </b>Several people have
asked me where I got my backpack from. I found that the ones from
emergencyessentials.com are really good. They have 3 different size,
small, medium and large. I purchased the medium size one. It is great
and has enough room for your 3 kits (food kit, hygiene kit and stressor
kit), extra clothing and other needed items I will list after we
complete the 3 kits. There backpacks are now black. Click<a href="https://beprepared.com/searchanise/result?q=backpacks"> here</a> to see them. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Food kits: </b>When you purchase the
food items make sure they have a least a year before they expire. Be
careful in purchasing any of the food items from a discount store like
the 99 Cent Store or Dollar General. Many times the expiration dates are
in just a few days, weeks or months. If you store your backpack in your
car the food needs to be rotated every 6 months due to the heat. In
your home or at work in your office, every year. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The past 3 months we have been working on the Food Kit. </b>If
you have not started or missed any of the assignments go back to
January 2017 and follow through to March. Now we will start the Hygiene
Kits. You will need to adjust some of the items according to age and

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Why a Hygiene Kit? </b>When you are
in an emergency or disaster situation it is good to have things that
will help you feel better, like being able to wash your hair, hand
lotion for your dry hands and skin, etc. </span></div>

item for each house hold member's hygiene kit. Remember to adjust
according to ages. Place all these items in a large zip lock bag, write
Hygiene Kit and their name on the bag. Place in their 72 Hour Individual
Emergency Preparedness Backpack. Each time you purchase an item for the
hygiene kit add it to the zip lock plastic bag. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Some basic rules of food storage : </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>Only purchase what your family will eat</li>
<li>Try to purchase items while on sale, that way you can purchase more</li>
<li>Start with a 3-Month supply of commercially canned and packaged foods first, only what you will eat.</li>
<li>After you have your 3-Month supply start purchasing long term food storage.</li>
<li>When purchasing long term food storage (freeze-dried or dehydrated #10 cans or buckets) do not purchase them in a group of items (a 6 month or year supply). You will find you probably do not eat some of the items in the group offers. Check out what is in them before purchasing them. Sometimes they are called Basic Year Supply or Deluxe Year Supply.</li>
<li>Purchase only single long term items. Usually you can purchase 6 #10 cans of the same product for less money or as a group (12 #10 cans). Go in with a friend or two to purchase the group offer. It will save you money. Emergency Essentials offers these. </li>
<li>Watch the expiration dates on the long term food storage. Most are 20-25 years if stored properly. Some are 10 years depending on the type of food. Ask so you know. Write the expiration year on the cans and buckets. </li>
<li>Watch the expiration dates on commercially canned and packaged items too. They are usually good for 2-3 years. You can eat them after the expiration date only if the can is not bubbled or dented, but the nutritional value goes down after the expiration date. </li>
<li>Store all food, whether commercially canned or packaged or long term storage in a cool, dry, dark place, below 70 degrees if possible. The better the storage conditions the longer it will last. Never store in your garage or attic, it is too hot. </li>
<li>Do not purchase long term sugar. Purchase in your normal grocery store package. Sugar last indefinitely. It will harden but you can break it up. I keep 2 5# bags in an extra large zip lock bag to keep water or moisture from it. </li>
<li>Only store honey in bottles, not cans. They can rust and damage the honey. Turn the honey upside down every 6 months. If it crystallizes you can heat it up to liquefy it again. Place the bottle in a pot with boil water until liquefies. Costco has a great price on 5 pounds of honey in plastic bottles. </li>
<li>Rotation, Rotation, Rotation! The secret to any successful food storage plan. Continually rotate your commercially canned, packaged, frozen and long term food storage as needed. Replace the item as soon as it used. </li>
<li>Keep a log of what you have, where it is kept and when it will expire. Review the log every 2-3 months. Use and/or replace as needed. </li>
<li>Be creative in finding places throughout your house to store your food storage. </li>

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">It took Noah almost 100 years to </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"> build the ark . . .</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">According to Genesis 5 and 6 it took Noah almost 100 years to build the ark. In Genesis 41-43 we read about Pharaoh's Dream and Joseph. They prepared for 7 years. Many mocked Noah and Joseph for preparing something the people could not vision or imagine. The skies were blue, everything was great. Then the rain and flood came. Then the 7 years of drought and hunger came. Our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) have admonished its members for years and years to be prepared with extra food, water, emergency supplies, to get out of debt and have a rainy-day savings. Our local and federal governments also admonish us to prepare. Do we allow others to mock us or say we are foolish for preparing for something we cannot see in the future or may never happen?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I would rather be prepared and not need it than need it and not be prepared! Imagine if there was a disaster or you lost your job or your health deteriorated where you could not work, your children said they are hunger and you have no food to feed them or money to purchase the food because you did not prepare. How would you feel? There are many reasons we might need our emergency food storage and emergency supplies. It takes time to build your ark, or your emergency preparedness food and supplies. Why not start right now, no more procrastination? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: small;"> <b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Backpacks: </b>Several people have asked me where I got my backpack from. I found that the ones from emergencyessentials.com are really good. They have 3 different size, small, medium and large. I purchased the medium size one. It is great and has enough room for your 3 kits (food kit, hygiene kit and stressor kit), extra clothing and other needed items I will list after we complete the 3 kits. There backpacks are now black. Click<a href="https://beprepared.com/searchanise/result?q=backpacks"> here</a> to see them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Food kits: </b>When you purchase the food items make sure they have a least a year before they expire. Be careful in purchasing any of the food items from a discount store like the 99 Cent Store or Dollar General. Many times the expiration dates are in just a few days, weeks or months. If you store your backpack in your car the food needs to be rotated every 6 months due to the heat. In your home or at work in your office, every year. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The past 3 months we have been working on the Food Kit. </b>If you have not started or missed any of the assignments go back to January 2017 and follow through to March. Now we will start the Hygiene Kits. You will need to adjust some of the items according to age and needs. This is just a suggestion. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Why a Hygiene Kit? </b>When you are in an emergency or disaster situation it is good to have things that will help you feel better, like being able to wash your hair, hand lotion for your dry hands and skin, etc. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Each month I will give you a weekly assignment until we have finished the hygiene kit, just like the food kit. </b>You can purchase most of these items at a discount store like the 99 Cent Store or Dollar General or on the discount shelves in stores like Target and pharmacies like CVS, etc. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Instructions: </b>You will need one item for each house hold member's hygiene kit. Remember to adjust according to ages. Place all these items in a large zip lock bag, write Hygiene Kit and their name on the bag. Place in their 72 Hour Individual Emergency Preparedness Backpack. Each time you purchase an item for the hygiene kit add it to the zip lock plastic bag. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">1st Week: Water-less Shampoo</span>--</b>Small bottle. You will want to have water-less shampoo so you do not use your valuable drinking water to wash your hair. In a disaster or emergency situation having clean hair will make the situation more tolerable per a woman who went through something like this. When someone in my family has been in the hospital I save the water-less shampoo they give them for my 72 Hygiene Kit. You can also purchase this at places like Target, CVS, Rite-Aid, etc. About $5.00.</span></div>

<br />
<b>After a major disaster most communications are shut down due to down power/telephone lines, down cell towers and circuit over loads.</b> After the E5 tornado hit Joplin, Missouri USA our daughter said it was hard to get through on the land line and cell phone, at times it was impossible. As community and church leaders got together they realized the only communication they had was to send out runners to check on various areas and to report back the damages, injuries and needs. Church leaders realized the only communication they had was to rely on the Holy Ghost to guide them. They meet by lanterns and candle light, and prayed for inspiration as how to help the people. Answers to prayers came.<br />
<br />
<b>What can we do to help with communication once a major disaster hits our area?</b><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>1) First, stay off the land lines and cell phones</b>. Only use your phones to report very serious injuries or those who are trapped and need immediate assistance. When every one gets on the
phones it over loads the circuits and no one can get through. Keep the lines open for emergency responders.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>2) Sometimes texting will work if the cell phone does not.</b> Try texting rather than making a call. <br />
Keep the lines free for emergency calls.<br />
<br />

<b>3) If possible, have some other way of communicating. </b>In our church there are members who are licensed Ham Operators and can communicate through that method. If you can, take a Ham Operating course, get your license and purchase a Ham radio. Even your children can learn how to operator the radio in an emergency situation.<br />

<b>4) Always stay close to the Spirit so you can receive inspiration for yourself, your family and </b><b></b><br />
<b><b>your loved ones.</b> The Spirit will guide as what to do and not do. Listen and follow.</b><br />

<br />
<b>5) If you have to leave your home or your car, leave a note on the front door or your car as to where you are going, who in the family is with you, the condition of each person. </b><br />
<br />

The Bishop of a church realized he could reach a Bishop in another state. He had that Bishop contact his members. When a disaster hits, each family member should text that out of state contact person where you are, your condition and where you are going or if you are staying where you are and where that is. Each family member should have this name and number in their wallet, purse or backpack. Teach your children how to text them or call them.<br />

Follow their instruction, stay sheltered in place if possible and being told to evacuate. The radio in this picture is a great one. It can run off of batteries or solar. It also has a hand crank. You can find them at emergencyessentials.com or other stores.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span>In January we started the Food Kit for our 72 Hour Individual Backpacks. If you have not
started yet, go back to January and February and complete those items. </span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><br />
<b>Note:</b> If you already have your 72 Hour Individual Emergency
Preparedness Backpack for each house hold member you might want to
review the Food Kit to see if any items need rotated or replaced. The
rule is if you keep your backpacks in your car the food needs to be
rotated/replaced every 6 months due to heat. If in the house at about 70
degrees rotate/replace the food once a year.<br />
<br />
<b>Important:</b> If you are purchasing your food items from a discount
store, check the expiration dates. You want them to last for at least a
year. Discount stores often sell products that are about to expire. <br />
<br />
<b>72 Hour Food Individual Kit Menu: </b><br />
<br />
<b>It is the same menu for each day, breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. </b><br />
<br />
<b>Day 1, 2, and 3</b><br />
<br />
<b>Breakfast:</b> Oatmeal (instant), <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Raisins</span> (<span style="color: black;">small </span>box), Hot cocoa (instant)<br />
<br />
<b>Lunch: </b>Peanut Butter Crackers, Fruit Cup, Trail Mix<br />
<br />
<b>Dinner:</b> Soup (and instant kind like Chicken Noodle), Granola Bar, Fruit Drink Mix<br />
<br />
<b>Snacks:</b> Fruit Snacks, Gum, Hard Candy, Beef Jerky<br />
<br />
<b>Water:</b> 2 Liter bottle or 3 smaller ones (not the really small
ones) (Remember: Use this water sparingly, it is used for drinking as
well as for the oatmeal, soup and hot chocolate/apple cider<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"></span>, not for bathing.)<br />
<br />
<b>Note:</b> This is a high calorie menu. When someone is in a stressful
situation they burn more calories. Adjust to family member with
allergies and medical conditions like diabetes. <br />
<br />
<b>Remember, you need 3 of each item for each member in your house hold.
This month add the following items and put them in the large plastic
zip bag with the last 2 months items and place each kit into each backpack . .
. </b><br />

<br />
<b>President Gordon B. Hinckley stated,</b> "We [as a church] have built grain storage and storehouses and stocked them with the necessities of life in the event of a disaster. But the best storehouse is the family storeroom. In words of revelations the Lord has said, 'Organize yourselves, prepare every needful thing.' (Doctrine and Covenants 109:8).<br />
<br />
"Our people for three-quarters of a century have been counseled and encouraged to make such preparation as will assure survival should a calamity come.<br />
<br />
"We can set aside some water, basic food, medicine, and clothing to keep us warm. We ought to have a little money laid aside in case of a rainy day." (Ensign, November 2005, 62)<br />
<br />
<b>While we are working this year on our emergency supplies, the 72 Hour Individual Emergency Preparedness Backpacks, the 72 Hour Family Bag, the Emergency Medical Kit and the Emergency Cleaning Bucket we need to continually be adding to our water and food storage. </b><br />
<br />
<b>We are encouraged to have at least a 3-Month supply of food (canned and packaged foods) and water. </b>In areas of the world were you are not allowed to store extra food and water, store what you allowed by law. Do not worry about the long term freeze-dried and dehydrated foods until you have at least a 3-months supply of canned and packaged foods. Store only what your family will eat. Watch for sales. Take that savings and put it into a jar for your emergency rainy day, even if it is just some change, it all adds up quickly. <br />
<br />
Each week when you go grocery shopping add a few extra cans and/or packages of food. Before you know it you will have your 3-months emergency supply of food and water. Remember, the key to good food storage is rotation. Do not let your food expire, rotate as needed. <br />

<br />
<b>Did you know your car headrest can save your life and it is made to be removable? </b><br />
<br />
Your car headrest was designed to help you in an emergency. If you remove the headrest the posts that go into the back of the seat were designed to break the glass of your car windows.<br />
<br />
If you find yourself trapped in water and you cannot escape through the door and the car is filling with water, remove the headrest and jab the post into the window glass. Cover yourselves as you do this to keep the glass from hurting you, or turn your face away. Once the glass is broken escape through the window as quickly as possibly to safety.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The last few weeks, months, I have been hearing people making statements like above. Many have been experiencing, flooding, severe weather, winter storms, tornadoes, and all kinds of natural weather situations. In Doctrine and Covenants 1:12 it states, "Prepare ye, prepared ye for that which is to come, ...." Some of us have not yet had to use our emergency supplies and food storage, some have. If you are not prepared, this is the year to prepare and to be able to help others when disasters strike. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">At one of our daughters regional conference one of the speakers made this statement (unfortunately, she does remember his name). "Are we truly doing our best, can we do a little better? Can we do better than our best? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">We are all in different places in life, temporally and spiritually and with our food storage and emergency supplies. But the most important thing is that we are striving, trying and truly doing our best, in what ever it is, and we all can do a little better. We can do better than our best. You may not think so at this time, but you can, we all can. Heavenly Father is continually stretching us by giving us challenges and trials. Through those challenges and trials we learn we can do better, we can do more, we can grow. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Emergency preparedness and food/water storage takes a life time. You are continually adding and rotating your supplies. Needs change, family members increase or decrease, health changes, incomes change, we are continually changing and so does our emergency preparedness and food storage. We should not feel overwhelmed or that we are not doing enough, it takes time to build it up. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">We have been married for 45 years and still adding and rotating emergency supplies and our food storage. Never, never give up. One of our current Twelve Apostles, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) says, "Don't you give up, don't you quit, you keep walking, you keep trying. ... It will be all right in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The best thing any of us can do is to start now it you have not, and to keep trying and not giving up if you have stated. Never, never give up. Just start now! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last month we started the Food Kit for our 72 Hour Backpacks. If you have not started yet, go back to last month and complete those items. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<b>Note:</b> If you already have your 72 Hour Individual Emergency
Preparedness Backpack for each house hold member you might want to
review the Food Kit to see if any items need rotated or replaced. The
rule is if you keep your backpacks in your car the food needs to be
rotated/replaced every 6 months due to heat. If in the house at about 70
degrees rotate/replace the food once a year. <br />
<br />
<b>Important:</b> If you are purchasing your food items from a discount store, check the expiration dates. You want them to last for at least a year. Discount stores often sell products that are about to expire. <br />
<br />
<b>72 Hour Food Individual Kit Menu: </b><br />
<br />
<b>It is the same menu for each day, breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. </b><br />
<br />
<b>Day 1, 2, and 3</b><br />
<br />
<b>Breakfast:</b> Oatmeal (instant), <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Raisins</span> (<span style="color: black;">small </span>box), Hot cocoa (instant)<br />
<br />
<b>Lunch: </b>Peanut Butter Crackers, Fruit Cup, Trail Mix<br />
<br />
<b>Dinner:</b> Soup (and instant kind like Chicken Noodle), Granola Bar, Fruit Drink Mix<br />
<br />
<b>Snacks:</b> Fruit Snacks, Gum, Hard Candy, Beef Jerky<br />
<br />
<b>Water:</b> 2 Liter bottle or 3 smaller ones (not the really small
ones) (Remember: Use this water sparingly, it is used for drinking as
well as for the soup, hot chocolate <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">and</span> fruit drink mix, not for bathing.)<br />
<br />
<b>Note:</b> This is a high calorie menu. When someone is in a stressful
situation they burn more calories. Adjust to family member with
allergies and medical conditions like diabetes. <br />
<br />
<b>Remember, you need 3 of each item for each member in your house hold. This month add the following items and put them in the large plastic zip bag with last months items and place each kit into each backpack . . . </b><br />

<br />
There are two emergency methods to handle burns when we get distracted and burn our fingers and hand by grabbing something just out of the oven or off the stove . . . <br />
<br />
1) Run the burn under cold water for 10 minutes, then cake on Aloe Vera and let dry. Will not blister and takes the sting away.<br />
<br />
2) Keep a bag of white flour in your freezer. When you burn your fingers or hand, place your fingers or hand into the cold flour for at least 10 minutes. It will stop the stinging and blistering.<br />

This year I hope more of you will become better prepared temporally, physically, mentally and spiritually. I hope you will set goals that will help you accomplish each of these areas. Emergency preparedness is an ongoing event, it never stops, you are continually adding and replacing and building up your emergency supplies. This year we are going to first work on setting up a 72 Hour Individual Emergency Preparedness Backpack for each house hold family member (or if you already have them, bring them up to date), a 72 Hour Emergency Preparedness Family Bag, an Emergency Cleaning Bucket and a Sanitation Bucket. I hope you will continue to work on your Food Storage and review last years blog postings to help you accomplish this goal.<br />
<br />
Note: This year I will only be posting once a month. I will give you an assignment for each week listing the things we will be adding for the month. <br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">What can we learn from </span></b><br />

<br />
Whenever a natural or man made disaster hits an area I watch CNN intently to learn from them so I can pass the information onto each of you to help you become better prepared for whatever might hit you. The past 10 years many people have experience some sort of natural or man made disaster . . .<br />

2014 Flint, Michigan Water Crisis<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And many more throughout the world<br />
<br />
What have I learned from these disasters? Yes, you can be prepared temporally with food storage, 72 hour emergency bags and emergency supplies, but these can be washed away, blown away and destroyed in a few seconds. I am not saying you should not have them, of course you should. Most of the time they are not destroyed and we can use them to help others.<br />
<br />
Marcy Peterson, second counselor in the Joplin, Missouri Stake Relief Society Presidency, said, after the tornado hit, that preparation is important to her because of the peace it brings. "For me, being prepared means . . . I don't need to worry. I know that if I've done my part by preparing myself spiritually, having food storage, and being willing to share with neighbors and others, I have a sense that I'm going to be okay--that the Lord will bless me whatever happens."<br />
<br />
I find when listening to the news programs on natural and man made disasters the best way we can be prepared is SPIRITUALLY!<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Spiritual Preparation . . . </b></span><br />
<br />
Let me share some comments form those in the Joplin Tornado . . .<br />
<br />
"Mike and Becky Higginson have faithfully built their home storage over time, and while the tornado destroyed their home, their food storage shed survived the destruction. The Higginson are grateful for this blessings, but they are quick to point out that physical (temporal) preparation alone is not enough to get them through this kind of event. They know that obedience to the gospel builds another kind of storage that natural disasters and other calamities cannot destroy.<br />
<br />
Bekcy Higginson said, 'We've had hard experiences before, and the gospel is what sustains you through everything. So although it is a shock and a trauma . . . it didn't change anything. You revert to your gospel roots, your spiritual roots, immediately."'<br />
<br />
Bshop Richins of one of the church Wards said, '". . . faith give us the hope that allow us to press on.' Modern technology, emails, text, phones did not work. They had to revert back to having prayers and listening for answers. He went on to say, 'You recognize very quickly---if you didn't already---how reliant you are on Heavenly Fahter for answers, because you need them, and you need them quick. But the answers come. They always come. They always will.'"<br />
<br />
(These quotes are from an article by Melissa Merrill (Church News and Events), "Preparation of All Kinds Bless Saints in Joplin, Missouri")<br />
<br />
When Joplin Stake President Creed Jones was interviewed by a CNN reporter, he had lost his home, the church building he presided over and even lost his job a jew months later due to the local hospital being destroyed, he told the report he still had his faith and hope in the gospel of Jesus Christ. <br />
<br />
I remember one woman who had lost everything in a tsunami, her home, her family, her belongs. She was putting together some shelter from pieces lying around. When the reports spoke with her she was at peace because she had the gospel, faith and hope all would be okay.<br />
<br />

You can rebuild.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What can we do to prepare spiritually? </b></span><br />
<br />
Attend church regularly, read your scriptures daily individually and as a family, say your prayers daily individually and as a family, listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and act on them immediately, and for those that are Latter-day Saints, attend the temple regularly. <br />

We all have been advised by our federal and local governments and our church to be prepared by having a 72 Hour Individual Emergency Preparedness Backpack for each house hold member. Each backpack contains a food kit, a hygiene kit and a stressor kit along with a change of clothes, sturdy shoes and some other items. We will first start with the food kit.<br />
<br />
<b>Note:</b> If you already have your 72 Hour Individual Emergency Preparedness Backpack for each house hold member you might want to review the Food Kit to see if any items need rotated or replaced. The rule is if you keep your backpacks in your car the food needs to be rotated/replaced every 6 months due to heat. If in the house at about 70 degrees rotate/replace the food once a year. <br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;"></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Food Kit . . .</b></span></span> will contain food for 3 meals a day for 3 days, plus some snacks. They are high in calorie because this is all you might have to eat if a disaster strikes or you have to evacuate immediately. You may need to adjust the menu due to allergies, medications you take and special diets. It is a good idea to keep one for home, another one at work and one at your child's school. Most schools now require your child to have an emergency backpack. We keep ours in our car just in case we are away from home when a disaster or other emergency issue happens. It will take us a few months to complete each kit.<br />
<br />
<b>Each food kit per person contains the follow for each of the 3 days . . .</b><br />
<br />
<b>Breakfast:</b> Instant oatmeal, small box of raisins, instant hot chocolate<br />
<b>Lunch: </b>Peanut butter or cheese crackers, fruit cup, trail mix<br />
<b>Dinner:</b> Instant soup (Chicken Noodle, Onion, etc.), granola bar, fruit juice box<br />
<b>Water:</b> 2 liters to 1 gallon per family member for the 3 days (you will need to be very careful how much you drink, some is used to cook the above food)<br />
<b>Snacks:</b> Hard candy, chewing gum, fruit snacks, beef jerky <br />
<br />
<b>The month (January) add the following items each week. Remember, you will need 3 of each item for each house hold member. Each days menu is the same for breakfast, lunch and dinner. </b><br />
<br />
<b>1st week: </b>Purchase a backpack for each family member. Use old ones or check out the thrift stores. <a href="http://beprepared.com/searchanise/result?q=backpacks">emergencyessentials.com</a> has great ones, 3 sizes, to hold all 3 kits, clothes and other items you might need. A sports bag will not work because you may need to carry, will be harder to carry.<br />

Merry Christmas to all! May we each take time from our busy schedules of Christmas shopping, Christmas parties and all the noises of the season to take some time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. May we take time to reflect on His life, His teachings, His example, His love and service towards others and make His life a part of ours all year long. May we each become true disciples of Jesus Christ. May each of you find peace, love, comfort, harmony, guidance in your lives each day. May each of us celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and remember Him.<br />

As we start to contemplate our New Year's Goals/Resolutions, may we each think about our journey in life, where have we been, where are we now and where do we want to be. May we make our New Year's Goals/Resolutions more meaningful this coming year. I love this video of President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's, Second Councilor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, thoughts on our journey in life. So touching and such good advice to us all. We all make the normal goals/resolutions, loose weight, get a better job, make more money, buy a new car, a bigger house. These are temporal goals, may be it is time to make more spiritual goals/resolutions too. Here are some 2017 New Years Goals/Resolutions you might want to add to your list . . .<br />
<br />
Daily individual and family scripture reading<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>With all the Christmas, New Year's and holiday baking this is the perfect time of year to stock up on your baking staples and dairy products. </b>You can find great sales at this time of year. Baking staples: flour (stores one year), sugar (stores indefinitely) , brown sugar (stores in definitely), shortening (stores 3 years), baking powder (stores one year), baking soda (stores 6 months), vanilla extract (stores one year), other extracts (stores one year), spices, (ground stores one year, whole stores several years) etc. Dairy: Eggs (you can remove them from their shells and freeze them for up to one year), butter/margarine (you can freeze for one year), milk, sour cream, cream cheese, etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>You can also purchase dehydrated/freeze dried</b> milk, butter, shortening, eggs, sour cream, cream cheese, baking soda, baking powder and spices for up to 25 years depending on how you store it (below 70 degrees in a cool, dry, dark place). I would only store the baking powder, baking soda and spices in the 2.5 cans emeregencyessentials.com offers. You can also store flour in the #10 cans but it is to expensive and not necessary. As long as you rotate the flour you can store it in is original packaging inside a large plastic zip lock bag. Best is stored it in the freezer, will store up to one year. Wheat flour does not store well in the freezer, to much oil content. <a href="http://beprepared.com/?sc=GOOGLE&oc=GOOG069005&gclid=CjwKEAiA1ITCBRDO-oLA-q_n8xYSJADjBQfGXWQZVNbQ5RjIHv-X8hIQFV5VzBRWYUrL_NeSS-pn7RoCraDw_wcB">emergencyessentials.com </a>has a lot of their baking and dairy products on sale. If you sign up for their emails you will get even better discounted offers. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>How much to store? </b>Figure out much of each baking product and dairy your family uses in a week or month and multiply it by the number of weeks, months you have set your food storage goal. </div>

<b>I am not a fan of setting New Year's Resolutions but more of setting New Year's Goals! </b></div>
<br />
Most of us break our New Year's Resolutions with a few weeks or months. Goals seem more realistic, easier to accomplish and permanent to me. Goals are easier to obtain because they usually involve smaller ones to accomplish the ultimate goal. For you 2017 New Year's Goals why not include working on your food/water storage, emergency supplies, evacuation plans and other being better prepared goals? This blog can help you set and reach your goals. I have listed a few above you might want to consider. On the side under "Posting" will give you more ideas to work in the coming year. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
This next year we are going to be working on putting together up a 72 Hour Individual Emergency Preparedness Backpack (food kit, hygiene kit and stressor kit) for each house hold member, a 72 Hour Family Emergency Preparedness Bag and adding emergency supplies. I encourage you to continue adding to your Food Storage until you reach the goal your family has set. Food Storage in an on going process, you are continually rotating the food you store and adding to it. Lets decide this year we are going to become better prepared next year than this year. You can do it! I try to make it workable and as easy as possible with this blogs postings. <br />

The past few weeks I have been filled with lots of thoughts. I have been jotting down quotes and other things I have heard. I am going to try and express them in this blog posting. <br />

"Know ye that the Lord he is God: . . . . Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name." (Psalms 100: 3-4)<br />
<br />
"Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; ...." (Psalms 147:7)<br />
<br />
"Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things." (Doctrine and Covenants 59:7)<br />
<br />
"... and that ye live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you." (Book of Mormon, Alma 34:38)<br />
<br />
"A grateful heart ... comes through expressing gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His blessings and to those around us for all that they bring into our lives." (Thomas S. Monson, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)<br />
<br />
This is the time of year when we think about those things we are grateful for! Why not take the time daily to reflect on these things? It can be simple things like a drink of clean cool water, a beautiful flower, the smile of someone walking towards you, the laugh of a child, the birds singing, the voice of a loved one. Take the time each day to be grateful for all your blessings, large and small. Give praises to our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ for your blessings.<br />

All you need to be told is that you should be working on one more things, like food storage and emergency preparedness. All I can say is what Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles says, "Don't you give up, don't you quit, you keep walking, you keep trying".<br />
<br />
That is all any of us can do, keep trying! If you have food storage and emergency preparedness goals set, just keep trying to meet them, don't give up. It takes time to build it up, but one step at a time, one can of food at a time, you will do it. The more you become prepared, the more peace of mind you will have.<br />
<br />
It is not just about food storage and emergency preparedness, it is about spiritual, emotional and physical preparedness too. As long as you keep trying Heavenly Father will bless you and guide you and help you along the way. Trust Him, believe in Him.<br />
<br />
Thomas S Monson stated, "The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepared for it, The present is here, live it." Take each day and do the best you can, keep on walking, keep on trying.<br />

A part of emergency preparedness is Emotional Preparedness. There seems to be so much hate and unkindness in the world today. May we each take into consideration what President Thomas S. Monson stated above. For our emotional preparedness may we each give more love and kindness to others. Take the time to smile at one another, open a door for the elderly, respect and say thank you to our military and policemen and policewomen, be patient with one another, show respect one to another no matter our race, cultural or color, say thank you and please more often and take the time to being loving and kind to one another.<br />

<b>Canned meats, poultry and fish are one of the more expensive items to add to your food storage</b>.
I do not store as much as I do of other food items. Meats, poultry and
fish can be added to staples like rice, noodles, pastas, soups, stews,
casseroles. etc. to extend the dish. There are a variety of meats,
poultry and fish and ways you can store these items. You can store them
in commercially canned products, freezing, home canning and
freeze-dried. It is good to store these items in a variety of ways,
short term and long term storage. Remember, only store what your family
will eat. Watch for sales and stock up then. Big box stores like Costco
and Sam's Club have great prices. Store all commercially canned, home
canned and freeze-dried in a cool, dry, dark place. Below 70 degrees if
possible.<br />
<br />

It does not look so pretty in the canning jars but it is cost effective. Click <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33bovjbt8nk">here</a>
to watch a YouTube video from Wendy Dewitt. It takes a regular pressure
cooker to do it, you cannot do it in a water bath canner. There are
newer much easier pressure cookers on the market now called a "Power
Pressure Cooker XL". They come in several different sizes now, 6 quart, 8
quart and 10 quart. I use the 6 quart one and can can 4 pint canning
jars at once. It is great because you do not have to worry about the
pressure and watching the gauges like the old fashioned pressure canner.
And it cost less. I purchased mine and Bed Bath and Beyond for $89 (6
qt.) using their 20% off discount coupon. It is great for many other
things too. <br />
<br />
<b>Meats: </b>Roast beef, ground beef, sloppy joes, corned beef, Vienna
Sausage, Underwood spreads (beef, chicken, ham), chili with meat, soups
with meat or chicken, stews, etc.. Watch the expiration dates, they can
vary on different types of meats. I purchase canned roast beef at Costco
for a good price. I use it in casseroles, soups, stews, enchiladas,
etc. <br />
<br />
<b>Poultry: </b>Chicken, turkey, duck, etc. I purchased canned chicken
at Costco for a good price. I use it in casseroles, soups, salads,
enchiladas, etc. <br />
<br />
<b>Fish:</b> Tuna, wild pink salmon, crab, oysters, sardines, etc. You can purchase them at big box stores and your local grocery stores.<br />
<br />
<b>Long Term Freeze-dried meats, poultry and fish: </b>The store, if
stored at 70 degrees or less, for about 25 years. It is great to have a
couple of #10 cans of meat, poultry and fish. But only store what your
family will eat and you will need to store extra water to rehydrate
them. They are more expensive. I would just store the commercially
canned or home canned varieties as long as you rotate them as needed.<br />
