B.E.E.: Building Food Storage; Emergency Prep; Educating Families
B: This month's goal is to can food as a family. Headed to Denver? Plan ahead to stop by the cannery. Or, utilize the stake canner we have right here at home. You can also get buckets from local a local bakery. They are great for things like pasta and flour. Lastly, you can preserve all the garden goodies by canning food in your own kitchen! Water-bath canning is a great family activity and there are many in the ward to show you how to do it!
E: Get on the new Larimer County Emergency Notification System
sign up at http://www.leta911.org/
This is a free service to let you know when an emergency is in your area. It is an extension of the original reverse 911, but this service will reach you on cell phones.
E: Where will your family go in an emergency? What if you get separated?
Plan a place to gather both close to home (i.e. fire) and farther away (i.e. city, school evacuation). Do all family members know how to get a hold of extended family or emergency contacts if local phone lines are down?
