SHELTER and SANITATION

 Camping Season, as some may anticipate is approaching!  Whether you are a camping household or not, it is a good idea to have a few essentials in your storage for the event of evacuation, power outage (cooking and heating options), loss or contamination of water etc.  Here are some links to information contained in this BLOG for acquiring, storing and using items related to  Shelter    and  Sanitation .  

Do You Have a GARDEN?

  A garden is a great way to add to your preparedness regimen.   You and your family can eat fresh from the garden for many weeks and preserving your own home grown wonderfulness is a tasty way to build up your food storage for the winter months.    Whether you have a plot of land in your yard, a few raised beds, or simply a small pot or two of herbs, what an awesome feeling it is to know that you can help sustain life through being prepared and self reliant!  Start preparing soil and gathering seeds now.   Some of you may have plant starts in the works, and some may already have hearty seeds planted.  The rain we are getting now will be a nice healthy beginning to watering in the upcoming drought year.  If you are worried about watering with the current restrictions in place, consider a less wasteful approach such as hand watering, drip system or watering deep and less often. Spread mulch around your plants to retain moisture in the root beds. Click on the GARDENING tab on the blog f

NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN

  Does your neighborhood/Ward have an emergency plan in place?  Do you know what to do for you, your home, AND your neighbors in the event of an emergency? Learn whom is your neighborhood emergency preparedness coordinator and review the neighborhood plan as it relates to your own household and immediate neighbors. You may want to consider becoming CERT trained. (Community Emergency Response Team) The training is offered through our cities.
