So, over the weekend, I went to three different food storage and emergency preparedness events. Wow, it really opened my eyes to what I need to do and not do. I learned so much information! For tons of information, I suggest that you head on over to my friend Mike’s Emergency Preparedness site. It’s really comprehensive and put together well. Also, check out the Church’s info on all of this. 
One of the thinks I picked up was a survey to see how well prepared people are. Thought I’d share it. Here goes:
Food Storage: __72 Hour kit __2 year supply __Water __Odds and ends __None, I’m dieting __Other
Fuel Storage: __Propane tanks __Gasoline tanks __Generators __None, I like to walk __Other
Communication: __Walkie talkies __Short wave radio __None, I like to shout __Other
Housing: __Camper, RV, motor home __Tents __None, I like the out of doors __Other
Trade: __Doctor/Nurse/EMT __CPR/First aid __Other medical training __Engineering/Carpentry __Electrical/Utilities __Nothing significant, really __Other
Tools: __Hand tools __Power tools __Does a lawn mower count? __Other
Camping gear: __Coleman stoves __Coolers __Utensils __Does a flashlight count? __Other
Protection: __Guns __Bow and arrow __Sling shots __None, I usually run away __Other
Special needs: __Mobility __Medication __Yes, I am special! __Other
Makes you think, eh?
so, which of these 3 fairs was the best?
Of course, Mike, your’s was great! I was so impressed by the vast amounts of information available. I think the best thing out of it all was the CD, though. I really loved the class that the Pointers gave for our stake, though. I think I learned the most there. It was all good, valuable info, though.
I’d assume, of course, that the class the Pointers did at ours would have been the same (or basically the same) as the one they did for your stake. I hope that people use the CD. A lot of work was put into it.
