Emergency Preparation Suggestions
Sister Peg Bryan
Don't focus solely on a year's supply of food before working on the following:
1. 72 Hour kit contents
2. Water
3. Get starter kit at cannery so you can start using the long term storage in your short term meals.
4. 1st 7 day period. Have a FHE on food storage to see each person's favorite meals.
5. Prepare 2 weeks of meals with shopping list of ingredients for the family. Alternate them to make meals for a month.
6. Prepare 2 or 3 more weeks of meals and you won't have to alternate them to have different meals for an entire month.
7. Do same thing for the next 12 months acquiring all ingredients for the family for the full 3 months.
8. If you will look at the 1st presidency suggestions in the newest pamphlet, All is Safely Gathered In, they list a 3 month supply 1st, then drinking water, then financial reserve and last the one-year supply.
