Are you prepared for an evacuation?
Okay, I had this dream last night....I hate this kind of dreams. But anyway, the dream was about my home being in the path of a wild fire. Kind of like the one they just had in Herriman. I my dream I can remember watching the fire and thinking to myself we might have to evacuate if it changes directions. And then all of the sudden it did. I paniced, I wasn't ready for that and I was frantically running around trying to get all the things I thought we just couldn't loss. You know like computers, pictures, important records, etc. And there where everywhere in my house and not in one central location. I woke up in a bit of a panic as you would imagine.
So I felt impressed to share this will all of you. We need to all consider the possibility that we might have to evacuate on a moments notice. And if that even happened will we be prepared. I know I am not!
So over the next few days I am going to be working on a plan to help us get our affairs in order. I am going to be researching the internet for ideas, of course. Why reinvent the wheel one someone has already done it, right. I hope you are all on board with this, because I think this something important for our overall preparedness.

Taking Inventory....
Okay, I got the motivation to start doing the inventor of my food store room. If any of you have seen my food storage room you can only imagine the job I have ahead of me. Well, I got 1 little shelf done and I have a page and a half of food listed. I also determined that I don't need any more oats, potatoes, dehydrated apple or hard red wheat. I have wheat in 5 gallon buckets that is over 40 years old. I am actually affared to open them up. And I have enough tooth paste to last 3 - 5 years! At least I won't have smelly breathe in an emergency.
I organized a lot of the other shelves so that I could get them inventoried by the end of next week. I have some more ideas that I will share later to help me STAY organized so that I don't buy 500 lbs of potatoes!!! I still have a lot of space to add more things too. I am sure there a lot of things I still need to purchase.

Food Storage / Emergency Prepardness Blog
About a year ago I started reading a few blogs of friends I know and I thought to myself, now that would be a great way to communicate with my ward members about food storage and emergency prepardness. So I created this site almost a year ago and then never did anything with it since then.
Well, now I am ready to start going forward with this blog and I hope you all enjoy using it. I am new at this and so it will be a bit of a learning process for me. I hope to post things to the site regularly but you know how that goes. But I am going to give it my best effort.
So to start, I got some feedback on the cards I handed out a few weeks ago and one of the things that most of them requested were little mini classes on specific topics. I would like to move forward and start having meetings once a month or every other month addressing a certain topic. I hope to start this in October. I hope these mini classes will inspire you to get preparded.
If you have any comments, please let me know.
