I’m so thankful for my new calling as RS Provident Living specialist. I feel very blessed for the way the Lord has led me and guided me over the past two years. Two years ago I started feeling very concerned about food storage. I started studying the subject and reading websites and blogs, getting mine up to date.
Coincidentally, at the same time I started writing a personal blog for my friends and family, where I put lots of random subjects, including a lot of emergency prep stuff.
When I got released from teaching seminary and called to be the Provident Living specialist, I immediately felt excited about starting a blog for the ward. I took all the blog posts on the subject of emergency preparedness that I had been doing for 2 years, and transferred them over to the new blog.
I was thinking about what to name the new blog, and decided to take the song from the Bojangle’s commercial (GottaWannaNeedaGetta Hava Bojangle’s) and changed it a little. So the name of this blog is
GottaWannaNeedaGettaPrepared.blogspot.com Thats on your handout.
I know you are all tech savvy, you probably all read websites and blogs every day. So I am using my blog to give you all the info I can, so I don’t have to give you handouts and papers all the time.
You’re getting a one-page handout today so you’ll have the highlights of what is in my presentation today, and to remind you of all the blogs and websites that I will be mentioning. (Note to people in my ward: I will pass those papers out again next Sunday. Otherwise, that handout will be in a later post.)
Disclaimer- I am quite a scavenger, most of my blog is made up of links to other people’s websites. I came up with very little of this on my own. Anything I am telling you here today, will have a link on my blog to where I got it from. And my blog is searchable.
HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS
I did a powerpoint presentation on Hurricane Preparedness for the RS on Aug. 5, and Bishop B. wanted me to do a shortened version of that today before starting on food storage, but I’m just going to give you the link. I put the whole thing on my blog, Aug. 6-9, 2010.
I think by the end of that presentation, the one thing the women were most convinced of was the need to buy a $20 inverter, which plugs into the car’s power port, and then you can plug in electrical things like a tv or computer. So, read the blog posts, thats all the time I have for Hurricanes today.
I wanted to give you this announcement, we have a great RS class coming up.
Family Communication Plan: Have One Before Disaster Strikes!,
Taught by Phyllis B.
In a disaster will you know how to contact your family? Will they know where you are? Will they know your plans? Will your cell phone work?...
Relief Society evening meeting, Thursday Sept. 9, 2010, 7 pm. in the Morrisville building RS room. Guests, and members of the Green Level ward are also invited.
Description:
Your immediate family might not be together when disaster strikes, or may become separated by the event. Your concerned loved ones outside the affected area will want to know of your safety and whereabouts. This class will discuss emergency communication options, including the Red Cross Safe and Well Website, that should be part of every family’s emergency preparedness plan.
(Presentation to be continued in later posts)
