Emergency Preparedness

Action Plan for April:  Shelter and Heat: 

• Understand basic shelter and heating needs, skills, and equipment.  Gather or update equipment for your family: practice shelter and heating skills.  

• You can only last three to four hours in extreme conditions without adequate shelter. Maintaining your body temperature in hot or cold temperatures is vital for survival. This can be hard to do if you are out of your normal environment or if the power to your home is out.   

• Plan: Download this Packet. Click Here 

• Review the Links in the text

• Resources are at the Bottom of the Page  

• Customize to your needs

• Prepare: Start or Update your Emergency Shelter Supplies

• Start with basic items to keep warm for 72 hours  

• Learn the science of sheltering and layering so you can create life-saving shelters  

• Gather sheltering supplies like blankets, tents, sleeping bags, Mylar, cold weather clothing, and clear plastic sheeting. Include sheltering items in disaster supply kits 

• Learn how to keep your home warm or cool as needed if the power goes out

• Learn how to safely build, start, and put out a fire using a variety of different starting and extinguishing methods, then practice

• Practice: Hands-on practice is the best way to be able to respond well in an emergency.   Dry run various scenarios and the anxiety of the emergency is greatly decreased.

• Gather your supplies for clothing, shelter, and heat.  Are they adequate and usable?

• Set up your shelter (warm room, tent, other)  
• Practice using planned heat supplies safely.

Youth Book of Mormon Reading Challenge

We started a Book of Mormon challenge at the beginning of March, and the goal is to read from the Book of Mormon every day!  The youth were given a reading chart and asked to mark off the days they read…it does not have to be consecutive days…we have rewards for 21 days, 60 days, 100 days, 150 days, and 200 days.  When the youth complete one of these benchmarks, they can talk to a leader to get a reward! They do not need to read a certain amount, 1 verse, a chapter, for a certain amount of time; whatever they feel they can read each day is all that is asked.  We invite all youth to participate!
