I recently got more added to our family’s food storage. It is advisable to have at least a year supply for each member of the family. These are foods that can sustain life: wheat, rice, beans, et cetera. It is always best to be prepared for the unknown. There may be a calamity; you may lose employment; there may be a severe illness; truckers may go on strike causing grocery stores to be bare.
W. Cleon Skousen made a statement regarding the morality of storing food: “If you buy up food when there is plenty, that’s food storage. If you wait until it’s scarce, that’s hoarding.” Right now, we live in a period of time of plenty. Pharaoh of Egypt listened to Joseph and stored wheat during the years of plenty, and thus had food during the coming years of famine.
Don’t wait until the crisis is so obvious that everyone is scrambling for food. It is too late at that point. The time to prepare is now. Begin an orderly, systematic, well-planned storage program immediately.
If you don’t have the money for a whole year supply right now, then start by making some sacrifices and buy systematically each month as much as you can until you have reached your year supply.

Nothing is more essential than the people we care for. They will depend on someone for protection and security during and after disastrous events. That person is most likely you. If you are currently unprepared, how will you assist and prepare your loved ones and others around you to be prepared to survive until outside help arrives? When is NOW the right time to take action and create something as precious as peace of mind in times of instability? We have received numerous warnings throughout the years. The degree of preparedness we acquire now determines how well we will sleep when the wind blows.
Shouldn’t we be protected and be ready for an emergency? All emergency preparedness organizations agree on the importance of a survival kit that can sustain an individual for 72 hours until emergency workers are able to respond and communications can be re-established. This is a great topic you have addressed! Thank you!
