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 2020 Back to Basics Newsletter

September is welcomed as hot summer days give way to cooler daytime temperatures, pleasant evenings, and brisk mornings. The harvests draw closer to an end. Fall fruits are waiting to be plucked, enjoyed, and preserved. School is back in session (although this COVID back-to-school year is a bit different from what we are accustomed to!) And September is the National Preparedness Month! Between it all, it is the perfect time to polish up your preparedness! Take the time to fill more storage shelves, renew the 72-hour kit, and make plans for the “what if” challenges and disasters. We have long been told “If ye are prepared ye shall not fear.”  As we face the storms that life brings, the peace preparedness brings is worth the effort and cost put forth in advance. Let us batten down the hatches, call the family together to work as a team, and enjoy whatever life brings.  As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.”
