Getting Prepared




Our goal for this month was to update and add to our 72 hour kits. We have a good start, thanks to Mike & Holly and a fabulous Enrichment that I helped organize, but there are always things you can add and things you need to update.

We added things like a pair of long pants and a jacket that would fit into our backpacks. We also added two pairs of socks for each of us. We also finally made the copies of our important paperwork and got them into our backpacks. We didn't have to change out to much since the 3 days worth of food that I made at Enrichment is good until 2012 (but that will be here sooner than we know it). Now we only have to go back and check on our supplies every six months just to do an update.

Since I was in the "emergency preparedness" mode this month I spent some time searching around and actually found some sites that had a lot of helpful information on them. Besides the church website there is a really helpful site that the city of San Francisco has set up. It can be used for any city and has a lot of helpful info on it. Hopefully we will never need to use any of our supplies but we all need to be prepared and have the supplied on hand and be ready for any situation, JUST IN CASE!

Great idea! I updated ours last month. We had some old candy bars in there and they were so gross. It is definitely not too late for Cashmere Mafia. I just started watching it this weekend. You can watch all four episodes on ABC.com. I really like it. Good music, Great Fashion and Beautiful rooms!
