For 7 days 9/9- 9/15 Julie Weiss and Jodi Moore, young Mormon authors of the food-storage blog foodstoragemadeeasy.net, issued a challenge to any and all takers over the Internet to participant in mock emergencies. They e-mail the challenge for the day with video’s, the tasks for the day, and the limitations for the day. Each day’s challenge is listed to the left to give you an idea how their mock emergency was like. It was very informative and very helpful. Each day we were not to go to the store, restaurants, and no spending money. The task for the first day was to leave the house in one hour, grab our disaster kit, 72-hour kit, with the thought that our house was destroyed by flood. Wow what an eye opener. But it was comforting to start organizing my grab kit. All the info. you can find on their web site. As I explained to the family what our limitations were no power, no light, TV, appliances etc. There was some nice positive brainstorming. THIS IS GOOD. Other challenges gave me a test on how prepared I was for everyday emergencies that was fun and helpful to me. Hope you will take a look and see what this was all about and give your preparedness efforts a little test.
