Welcome!

These monthly newsletters (from January 2011 to present) are to help us all be more prepared. They are written for the Hurricane Utah Stake (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,) but everyone is welcome to make copies. Many other groups and individuals are using them. (Note: Garden tips are for Southern Utah. You may need to adjust to fit your climate.)

December 2011 Newsletter


 It has been one year since the “Back to Basics” newsletters began. We have had one year of ideas and suggestions to hopefully help us all become more prepared. How is your family’s personal preparedness status coming along? Have you found any ideas you meant to try, or items you planned to purchase that you just never did. Maybe at this Christmas time a gift we can give to ourselves (and to the lord as we “Follow the Prophet”) is to really get ourselves prepared! Use food storage as a gift to others also! May we have a peaceful holiday season this Christmas time as we celebrate the birth of Christ. And may some of the peace come from knowing each of us is a little more prepared.


Included in this month's newsletter:
       Containers: buckets, cans, mylar bags, other
       Disaster Prep: bedding for cold weather

       Christmas Gifts: a Preparedness Christmas
