So lately I’ve had this feeling to make sure my little kiddos know what to do in an emergency…from dialing 911 on a cell phone (especially one like an Android), knowing our address, earthquakes, fires, floods, storms (they think of tornadoes any time it’s windy out), etc. I’ve been looking online on ways to teach children and was even hoping to find some workbook-type pages to go through with them but so far there’s nothing. I might have to design my own. There’s a website I really like – she’s very organized and helpful and although I haven’t implemented anything yet, I’m loving a lot of her ideas on how to prepare. You should jump over there too…
Plus, food storage has been on our minds a lot lately too…having non-perishables that we can eat in case something happens, whether an emergency or even just being short on funds, as well as a grab and go backpack for each of us with necessities inside. Plus a place to store all of it! I’m not sure if we’re finally taking time to act on the things we heard from General Conference or if I’m feeling anxious with this baby coming in the next 2 months that I really want to have everything in place and ready with no big surprises that could get in the way. Either way, we know we need to get ready so I’ll take whatever the reason is and run with it!
Any suggestions would be great!
