Farmington West Provident Living

Each Ward/Neighborhood has been counseled to have an Emergency Plan in place.  In our area, we have unique threats of disaster as well as some similar to other areas of the world.  We are not likely to experience a hurricane or a tsunami, however most of you are aware of the possibility and likelihood of earthquakes, strong downslope winds, tornado, flooding, drought, fire, and events that may require evacuation from our homes.   With a neighborhood awareness and action plan in place, along with our own household preparedness plan, we will all be better able to assist and give aid to our neighbors in the event of a major event.  Stake councils, ward councils, and presidencies assist units in working together to become more temporally prepared. Members have been counseled to work together to help one another build their temporal preparedness. As members do so, their hearts can be “knit together in unity and in love one towards another” (Mosiah 18:21). More information on creating a Neig

Great additions to Emergency Preparedness and Camping/Survival Supplies include communication devices.  Walkie Talkies (handheld radios) for grown-ups are awesome!  We use them when camping to touch base with each other when going different directions while hiking or when separating our group for one reason or another (some go fishing without the others...)  Each Ward in our Stake has an emergency communications plan set up.  Many radios are used to practice communicating in the event of an emergency and thus when an emergency occurs, coordinating needs of the neighborhood can be assessed & help can be arranged.   Consider having a set of hand radios and a supply of batteries on hand with your supplies.  Don't forget to rotate the batteries as needed so you always have some fresh on hand.  Another great idea is to have an emergency radio to keep you informed about weather or other natural disaster updates.  For some options of emergency radios, click here .
