Emergency Preparedness
Action Plan for July: Cooking
- Can you prepare food without your normal kitchen appliances? It's important to know how to safely make meals when the lights are out and the gas is gone. Having a safe source of cooking heat and knowing different means of cooking are vital to "be ready" for emergency survival
- Understand various cooking options. Select one or more cooking option that would work best for you. Gather sufficient supplies to cook for you and your family for a minimum of two weeks. Practice using the cooking method and equipment.
Plan:
- Download the RC Stake Checklist Click Here
- Be Ready Utah has much information
- Resources are at Be Ready Utah- Cooking
- Customize to your needs
Prepare:
- Start or Update your Emergency Cooking Plan
- Gather equipment and fuel to allow you to safely cook for a MINIMUM of 2 weeks
- Extend to longer times for extended emergencies
- Developing more than one cooking option will allow for flexibility
Practice:
- Hands on practice has been shown to be 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.
- Practice using only outdoor cooking methods for a full meal or better yet for a full day.. Note what worked well and what improvements could be made
- Involve the kids. Make it fun and they will feel less anxiety in an actual emergency

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!

Latter-Day Prophets Speak“The Atonement of Jesus Christ Provides the Ultimate Rescue,” Elder Quentin L. Cook, General Conference, April 2025 In this conference talk, Elder Anderson testified: “As we turn to Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, He rescues us from the storms of life through His Atonement.” Later in Elder Anderson’s address, he quoted President James E. Faust (Second Counselor in the First Presidency from 1995 until 2007) who said: “In the heroic effort of the handcart pioneers, we learn a great truth. All must pass through a refiner’s fire, and the insignificant and unimportant in our lives can melt away like dross and make our faith bright, intact, and strong. There seems to be a full measure of anguish, sorrow, and often heartbreak for everyone, including those who earnestly seek to do right and be faithful. Yet this is part of the purging to become acquainted with God.” |
