March 2012 Preparedness Reminder

This month is simple but very important!

Discuss with family members the ways to escape from danger during an emergency:

1. What would you take with you? 
2. How would you get out of the house? 
3. Where would you meet?  
4. If separated who would you contact so everyone can be reunited? 

Talk about various kinds of emergencies that may happen:

1. fire 
2. flood 
3. gas leaks or spills 
4. terrorists
5. shootings 
6. earthquakes. etc.

See below for your handouts containing great ideas, preparedness test, and a Family Communications Plan from Homeland Security. This would make a great family night!

We live in a time when the best protection we can have is Spiritual protection.  Staying close to the promptings of the Holy Ghost will give you courage, guide your every action, protect you, and give you peace to act appropriately.  Daily scripture study and daily prayers individually and as a family along with weekly Family Home Evenings and regular attendance at the temple seem like simple things to do but they are our Shield from the storms of life.  When we do all we can to be prepared, then the Lord will do the rest.
