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.)

January 2014


Old man 2013 has left us and baby 2014 has arrived! It is hard to believe - time seems to fly by faster each year. Our 2013 year was full of amazing events: hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and even a record breaking winter storm and low temperatures right here at home! There was the government shutdown, new laws, unemployment, and more. All around us we can see reasons to be prepared! We just never know what is around the corner. It is important to remember – it is never too late to start or continue your work on preparedness. As this New Year gets into full swing, let us sit down and make some plans for our preparedness. Let us set goals that will protect and care for us and our loved ones. 
To “Be Prepared” is a noble and worthy new year’s resolution!
