Emergency Preparedness and Response
Members of the Church have been counseled for many years to be prepared for adversity. Preparation, both spiritual and temporal, can dispel fear. With the guidance of Church leaders, individual members and families should prepare to be self-reliant in times of personal or widespread emergency.
Our ward preparedness specialist has assembled a detailed packet describing our local disaster plan. It is very informative and well worth reading. You may download it for your own paper copy.
During Jan 2015 Ward Members were encouraged to complete a Stake wide Emergency Preparedness Survey to help guide preparedness efforts. The area that scored lowest on the survey was the number of families having a written Emergency Preparedness Plan that included the following: emergency contact list, alternate meeting place, escape routes, important phone numbers, insurance information, financial information, medical information for each family member, bank information, critical legal documents, property inventory etc. In an effort to assist families to organize such vital information the Ward Emergency Specialist has assembled a Family Readiness Workbook. It makes it easier to compile critical information in the event of any type of disaster or family crisis. Feel free to download and print this booklet. Taking the time to fill it in now will prove to be a valuable asset in the future.
