EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

 

Emergency Preparedness and Response

In our ever changing world we all need to be prepared for adversity. Preparation, both spiritual and temporal, can dispel fear. With the guidance of Church and community leaders, individual members and families should prepare to be self-reliant in times of personal or widespread emergency.

Family Emergency Planning

All families are encouraged to prepare a simple emergency plan. Items to consider may include:

• Three-month supply of food that is part of your normal daily diet.
• Drinking water.
• Financial reserves.
• Longer-term supply of basic food items.
• Medication and first aid supplies.
• Clothing and bedding.
• Important documents.
• Ways to communicate with family following a disaster.
