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.)

“April showers bring May flowers” …a little preparation and nurture for flower seeds and plants to flourish! Spring is full of preparations for harvests. Gardens are planted, seeds germinate and begin to grow, and we anticipate that juicy tomato or crunchy corn. But with that preparation, we must now nurture and help our gardens to grow. So it is with all levels of preparedness. Our work today – those “April Showers” – will set the way for us to feel the peace of “May flowers.” But we must then endure… we continue to upgrade, add to, rotate, make plans, practice those plans, and a number of other activities we engage in as we attend to our “flowering” preparedness. Let us use this planting season to plant the seeds of preparedness in all levels. And then continue to nurture the growing flowers.

Included in this month's newsletter:

Disaster Prep: One Size Fits All- a list from past disasters that you will need in a future one.

The Young and Old - extra attention needed for different age groups.
