"I fear that so many feel that a long-term supply is so far beyond their reach that they make no effort at all. Begin in a small way…gradually build toward a reasonable objective.” -President Gordon B. Hinckley,

52 Weeks to Preparedness-Week 15

FOOD STORAGE:
20 pounds of sugar
EXTRA ITEM:
3 month supply of dish soap
72 HOUR KIT:
CONGRATULATIONS! You now have a basic 72- hour kit. Check it often. Change or add things as needed. Next week we will start on the car kit.
FAMILY PREPAREDNESS:
Beware of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is an odorless, colorless gas that can be deadly in large concentrations or over long periods of time in low concentrations. It is a product of incomplete combustion. Check the furnace and flue and wood stove chimney regularly. Be cautious with any open flame heating or cooking devices and never use charcoal indoors. Install at least one CO detector in your home.
SPIRITUAL PREPAREDNESS:
Read the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17. Pick one thing in your life that seems like a Goliath and work to overcome it.
