principle of preparation

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

  • Doctrine & Covenants 38:30

    “…but if ye are prepared, ye shall not fear.”

Recent wildfires, hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes and other adversities and challenges around the world may cause some fear and worry. But preparation, both spiritual and temporal, can dispel fear.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has resources that explain how being prepared now can reduce stress and allow more time to focus on next steps when a disaster happens.

Personal and Family Emergency Preparedness

We have been counseled to be prepared for personal and large-scale disasters. This preparedness includes sustaining life with food storage and a water sup-
ply and extends to planning for reunification after a disaster, communication with family members, mental and emotional preparation, and many other consider- ations.

This planning guide can help you create or update personal and family emergency response plans. Your emergency plan should be coordinated with ward, stake, and community plans. The most effective plans are simple and brief. As a family or individual, you should review and update this plan regularly.
