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 2024 Back to Basics Newsletter


 Click here for a complete copy of the April 2024 Back to Basics Newsletter.

Spring has sprung – and we hope for April showers to bring May flowers! Spring is a time for renewal. We see the world green up, gardens get planted and seeds sprout, and the world feels refreshed as winter fades into the past. April is also a busy month with so many ways to spread our time. The longer days seem to demand a longer list of “to-dos.”  In the midst of the renewal of the world and the box checking of our lists- let us remember to include preparedness. If we make preparedness a way of life- it is a part of our daily planner. The garden produces what we eat. The stocked shelves supply a quick meal on the way to the game. With a bit of deliberate intention, we can “work in” a little more preparedness living!
