Neighborhood Preparedness

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).
