Ok, so I am a total newbie with this stuff, but I want to be prepared when it comes to getting my family's needs taken care of if there were ever a serious emergency.
Last month's storm was enough to remind me that things like snowstorms can and do happen here. (10 inches of snow in a place that usually gets none!)
We are also ripe for an earthquake. So, it makes sense to me that while you would have time to prepare, and it would be wise to.
But, let me caveat this, I believe in a sovereign God who has this all in His hands. I am not trying this out of a sense of fear, but rather a sense of preparedness. It is just something that has been on my heart for the past year, and now I am just going to jump in and do it!
So, today's task is going to Costco and buying some cases of water. (It is a start!, with recommendation being 3 gallons per day for every family member: that is a lot of water!) And this week, I'm also going to scout around and see if I can find a battery powered cell phone charger for my phone. I am also going to be reorganizing our binder for vital information. (hangs head) because that hasn't been done in a very long time.
I am also going to inventory what I have so that I know what to purchase next and scout around for good prices. (some of this stuff is super spendy!!! jehosaphat!)
But if I take this in small steps, then I know that I can do it!
