Emergency Preparedness

Brothers and Sisters, we received some information from our Area President about being prepared for possible flooding this spring. This is not to create panic or concern, but rather to give information on the subject.

We all know “If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear.” (DC 38:15).

I am attaching two documents that give some basic information as well as some ideas for planning in case our neighborhood does see some issues. Please review these documents if you are interested in additional information.

Also, feel free to copy or pass these on to any friends, neighbors, coworkers or family that may be interested as well. -Bishop Harwood
