Your own situation will likely be different, and you will have to adapt the information here to best serve your family.
Introduction:
The intent of this site is to be a resource for many facets of Emergency Preparedness. Once the initial content has been added here, I will be updating this site only RARELY, as most of these principles have been around for decades.If you find information here that is useful, I strongly recommend printing that material off. In the event of a broad emergency, there is no guarantee that your connection to the internet and this site will be available.
Individual and Family Preparedness:
Home Evening Ideas: Family Preparedness
My
husband and I decided to simulate an emergency in which our family
would be without electricity and water. I planned ahead by getting food
that could be grilled, filling our water cooler, and ensuring we had
flashlights and candles. The afternoon of our “emergency,” without
telling our children, we turned off the water and the electricity.
Alarmed at first, our children adapted as we used our grill to cook
dinner and to heat water for washing dishes. They even enjoyed using
flashlights and candles for homework and getting ready for bed. Later,
after our children realized it had been a planned emergency, we
discussed what we had learned and the difference that being prepared can
make.

The core of the Church's preparedness effort is individual and family preparedness.
Families and individuals will need to plan for their own needs FIRST. This needs to be a written, printed and well practised plan. Communicate this plan with other important people in your life (Children at college, etc)
See several of the blog posts on the sidebar of this site for information about family plans, emergency binders, food storage, etc.
