Preparing Wisely

Who:  Everyone.

What:  Prepare Financially, Store Water, Build a three-month supply of food, build up long term food storage, create 72 hour kits

• Water-one gallon per person per day for two weeks (14 gallons per person), keep in mind the hot environment we live in, food preparation and hygiene.
• 3-month supply- a supply of food that is part of your normail daily diet, that would last for 3 months.  
• Long-term food storage-25lb of grains (wheat, rice, oats, etc.) per person per month, 5 lb of dry beans or other legumes per person per month.  You may also want to add other items to your longer-term storage such as sugar, nonfat dry milk, salt, baking soda, and cooking oil.
• Financial Reserve-have a budget, get out of debt and build a 3-6 month emergency fund.
• 72 Hour kits-a back pack, rolling suitcase or other container that is easy to grab and contains enough food and water for 3 day (72 hours). 

Where:  You can store your food storage in closets, under beds,   behind furniture and anywhere else you might have a little extra space. Do not store you food in your garage, the AZ heat is too much. 

When:  Start now, you never know when disaster will strike, build your food storage and financial reserve a little at a time.

Why:   Preparing for natural or manmade disasters or personal financial hardships will ease your burden if disaster should strike.  If you are prepared, you will be in a position to help yourself and others.
