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.)

September 2013



September is a month of wonderful events. It is back to school for families with children in the home. It is time to harvest apples and wrap up the garden. The weather changes: days are much more pleasant and nights cool down. Truly the smell of autumn is in the air! As we wrap up another wonderful summer, it is also a great time to take stock of our preparedness. Take inventory of what you have added to the storage shelves, and what you need to add to make it a good solid supply in order to be self-reliant. Ask your family some “what-if” questions to see how prepared you are. What if there was a fire, a flood, an earthquake, or any disaster? What does our family need? Do we have it, and what do we need to get?  The survival of your family in any crisis depends on how prepared you are. Are YOU ready?


Included in this month's newsletter:
     Self Reliance: Spiritual (Testimonies, Peace, Order) and Temporal (72 hr kits, storage, skills, gardens, finances) ways to be self reliant.
