Financial & Food Storage Security for Individuals and Families

Fantastic Idea Patti and Dave! The most important information I can give anyone is to store food and fuel for one year. This will assure you can still take care of yourself and family if you lose a job or are financially hurt in anyway. We have a piece of mind knowing that we can feed our family if anything happens whether it is financial (The recession we are all experiencing) or natural disaster (such as earthquake, extreme winter weather, flood, tornado, landslide, etc.). Dennis and I have started a neighborhood network that focuses on emergency preparedness and embraces Homeland Security’s CERT (Community Emergency Response Team). We have turned our neighborhood program into a non-profit organization, Hidden Village Partners in Preparedness, Inc., that will focus on getting every neighborhood in Cache County ready for any disaster which does include a financial disaster. Emergency preparedness handbook is available.

This will give any individual or family directions on how to prepare for food storage as well as legal documents and financial information. Our neighborhood trained together in a CERT class in 2008 and train quarterly in mock disaster situations. We had a canyon landslide a few blocks from us that buried a home and killed a family of which our CERT team engaged immediately and helped Logan City Incident Command for 5 days in this disaster. A Washington D. C. journalists called me to do a story on CERTs website “CERTs in Action” on our Hidden Village CERTs.
