Save the date *** September 14th

Please save the date September 14th for our next monthly Relief Society meeting. We are hoping that this date will work for the sisters in the Hispanic branch for our get-together. We would like to have as many sisters there as possible to get to know these great women better. More info to follow.

Family Emergency Plan

Hey, Sisters!
I am going, from time to time, to post some emergency/and or preparedness ideas on the blog. I know that I need some reminders. I seem to go in spurts. I need to be more consistent. Hope it helps you, too.

"Your family should have a plan for how to respond to an emergency. Take time regularly to discuss and practice for emergency situations with your family. Have fire, tornado, or earthquake drills so that children will all know how to safely exit your home and where to gather." (From: Emergency Preparedness Made Easy, Pam Crockett, Introduction)

1. Understand your basic needs.
2. Get family together, discuss emergency needs.
3. Make an emergency contact phone list for each family member.
4. Prepare or purchase 72 hour kits for each family member.
5. Prepare of purchase a disaster (tote) kit for your home.
6. Prepare or purchase an emergency kit for your vehicles.
7. Make or purchase a basic first-aid kit for your home and vehicles.
8. Learn your community emergency services and needs for disaster preparation.
9. Practice and maintain your family emergency plan.
10. Keep it simple, don't get overwhelmed, and had FUN!

The above list also comes from "Emergency Preparedness Made Easy by Pam Crockett.
