Here are the
supplies I purchased for about $10 for Readiness Challenge 2:
matches, candles, flashlight and batteries
Are you ready for an emergency? As I write this severe weather is expected in my area soon and I am so glad I have been improving my stash of emergency supplies! Would you have to depend on the government
for food if there was an emergency? You
may go hungry if you do! So The
Readiness Challenge 3 is to stock up food supplies for immediate use in an
emergency. Many of you may store beans
and rice and wheat and that is great, but these things will be harder to
prepare under hardship conditions. I
recommend having canned goods on hand to be able to just heat and eat until you
get your bearings in an emergency. You
can stock up on store bought canned foods like ravioli, soups, stews, fruits and
many other items or you can stock up on your home canned foods. Meats, soups and stews all can be home canned
for daily and emergency use-home canned fruits and veggies as well. Whichever you prefer, just stock up on
something that you can just heat and eat easily.
Give yourself time
to breathe before you must figure out the daily “how tos“ of emergency
living. Remember we are trying to stick
to an amount of $10.00 per challenge. I
realize this won’t buy all of the food on your emergency needs list, but it
will be a start and some is better than none!
With prepping on a regular
basis, we can feel more confident in our abilities to endure an emergency -be
it terroristic or Mother Nature’s wrath.
I hope you will all continue to take responsibility for your family’s
safety with my Readiness Challenges. We
can prepare together!
Please keep those in Illinois and other areas that have suffered loss during this storm system in your prayers.
Safe Blessings,
Lisa
PS Those supplies came in handy tonight! We had bad storms, high winds, and power failure!
