A Very Serious Matter


Hey Gang, suggested reading for you.  We are less than 40 days from the end of this Shemitah year.  If you are not up to speed on this you might what to go back and read the four blogs on Shemitah that I wrote a month o so ago.  It would also increase you knowledge base if you also read the blogs on Jubilee and the Feast Days.  I would suggest the patriarch and matriarch of each family sit down and discuss this and take action.  If you have questions about what I am talking about you might want to call and we will bring you up to speed. This is a very serious matter.  If you do not have a patriarch or matriarch to discuss this with we would bring you up to speed in what the religious gurus and financial leaders in the world are saying and predicting.
Remember use your heads how best to protect your family.  Have some extra staples in the pantry, some extra cash in case the banks will not allow you to get yours from there, make a house payment ahead if you can, and have extra meds on hand. 
Research indicates that a higher percentage of people are heeding this warning than ever before.
4.      REPEAT FROM LAST WEEK: How to Prepare for You and Your Family in the Event of a National, Regional and/or Citywide Emergency
A comprehensive plan on how to prepare for you and your family 
The following is a comprehensive plan for how to prepare in the event of national, regional or city-wide emergency leading to stores without food, no electricity, no fuel for cars and disruption in all areas of life.
It’s important to note a couple of things. First, stores have only a three- to four-day supply of food—and we know how fast the shelves can be cleared in preparation for a major snowstorm or hurricane. Second, our society is heavily reliant on computers that run every area of our lives. A major cyber event could cripple and disrupt the U.S. economy. 
Preparation
Through its Ready Campaign, the Federal Emergency Management Agency educates and empowers Americans to take some simple steps to prepare for and respond to potential emergencies, including natural disasters and terrorist attacks. Ready asks individuals to do three key things:
1.      Get an emergency supply kit.
2.      Make a family emergency plan.
3.      Be informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses.
All Americans should have some basic supplies on hand in order to survive for at least three days if an emergency occurs. 
Following is a list of some basic items that every emergency supply kit should include. However, it’s important that individuals review this list and consider where they live and the unique needs of their family in order to create an emergency supply kit that will meet these needs.
People should also consider having at least two emergency supply kits—one full kit at home and smaller portable kits at their workplace and in their vehicle.
Ready.gov has a variety of downloadable publications that cover various topics about planning and preparation for disasters and emergencies.

Storing food for future use was a part of life for early Americans, but the growth of stores that offer fresh supplies up to 24 hours a day caused most people to stop storing their own food. Many people are reconsidering this choice as natural disasters, financial crises and political unrest grow. 
Emergency preparedness organizations such as the Red Cross recommend storing two weeks’ worth of food, but many people prefer to prepare supplies for six months.
Food and water in an emergency
If an earthquake, hurricane, winter storm or other disaster strikes your community, you might not have access to food, water and electricity for days or even weeks. By taking some time now to store emergency food and water supplies, you can provide for your entire family.
Water
Water is an essential element to survival and a necessary item in an emergency supplies kit. Following a disaster, clean drinking water may not be available. Your regular water source could be cut off or compromised through contamination. Prepare yourself by building a supply of water that will meet your family’s needs during an emergency.
How much water do I need?
You should store at least one gallon of water per person per day. A normally active person needs at least one gallon of water daily just for drinking. However, individual needs vary, depending on age, physical condition, activity, diet and climate.
Suggested emergency food supplies
Following a disaster, there may be power outages that could last for several days. Stock canned foods, dry mixes and other staples that do not require refrigeration, cooking, water or special preparation. Be sure to include a manual can opener and eating utensils.
Managing food without power
Recommended supply list
Family supply list
Water, food and clean air are important things to have if an emergency happens. Each family or individual’s kit should be customized to meet specific needs, such as medications and infant formula. It should also be customized to include important family documents.
