Week 29 (July 15, 2012)

Assignment: With the emergency drill we had just two weeks ago, many have said what a blessing it was to have all their documents in one place. This lesson was given a couple years ago, and many in our ward heeded the instruction. Take time this week if you haven’t already, to collect all your important documents and place them in a notebook or file that you can quickly grab and take with you in an emergency, as so many of us had to do earlier this month.

Purchase: Also, did you notice the first thing that had to be rationed and cut back? Our water supply! If you don’t have at least a month’s worth of water on hand for your household, I will be taking orders for water barrels and other containers this week. Please act now and get your water storage. In using the last evacuation as an example, be sure and have water that you can also grab and carry with you if necessary. If the evacuation would have been city wide, the stores would have run out of water quickly.
