Maybe you have wondered from time to
time...
-
Where do I start?
-
What should I do first?
-
I don't have any money, how can I prepare?
-
I have a new church calling, what should I do?

Seek council first from your leader to find out what
their priority is. If they don't know, then take action. Present
your plan to them and let them agree, but it must be their plan, you
only make suggestions.
It's Free

If you are having these questions, you're not
alone. The best part is you want to prepare. That is the most
important step. There are lots of free resources on this web site.
Just start exploring, pick a topic you want to learn. If I were to
recommend some important topics, it would be to make copies of all
your important papers in one spot (Emergency
Documents) or learn how to purify water
(Water
Contamination).
It does require the cost of a trip to
Wal-Mart to buy a medicine dropper . Don't forget to practice BEFORE you
need to know. Another great place for reference material comes from
the Web Resources
link.
Pre-Disaster Emergency Preparedness Plan
top
If you are in a ward or stake preparedness calling
there are two types of plans. There is the planning before a
disaster such as what you and the Bishop want to accomplish over the
next year. Teach a fifth Sunday lesson, put a display in the foyer,
ward newsletter article, host a preparedness fair, have lessons
taught in Sunday School to name a few ideas.

Emergency Plan

The after action plan I have prepared and you can
copy it and adapt it for your needs. It was written for a stake,
but with some adjusting, it will work on a ward level. It's
designed for leaders to help them make decisions when everything
seems so unclear after a disaster.
Food Storage -
Build on the basics (pdf)

Priesthood and Relief Society leaders should teach the
importance of home storage and securing a financial reserve. These principles
may be taught in ward councils or on a fifth Sunday in priesthood and Relief
Society meetings.

Note: “Church
members are encouraged to prepare for adversity by building a basic supply of
food, water, money, and, over time, longer-term supply items. Beyond this,
Church members may choose to store additional items that could be of use during
times of distress.”
