Preparedness Principles

Tonight, I attended our Church Stake meeting and again our Stake President stressed by asking us the question " Are we ready?" Are we prepared if natural disaster takes place tomorrow? So I came home, took my bag out to look at what's missing or need updating.
Being prepared requires time and effort, it's not just a matter of keeping a torchlight by your bed or a bag of rice. It requires understanding the principle in being prepared, tailoring a plan for your own family, involving every member . Then putting the plan into practice. I was thinking "ok, this week end  I am going to shut down the power and see how my boys and I survive the winter cold without heat"  Heavy snow buries Mid-Atlantic, houses losing power in winter storm. We hear that often enough during winter. Now, the problem is ....CAN I DO IT???? Without power for the weekend...means no computer time!!! Yikes.
