Hello, I found on your website a number of weeks ago and have been through all the info steadily. I decided would write my first comment. Not really sure what to write but here goes. Informative site. Will come back in a bit to see more of what youd like to say.

My husband and both our sons are hams. The boys received their licenses when they were 8 and 12 years old. So think young when you recruit! Communication really does fall apart after a disaster. We are so dependent on cell phones now we are going to feel very lost and frustrated when we can’t get information to family or from family. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

We are working on becoming ham radio certified in our stake. After hurricane Katrina and Rita we realized that we could not communicate when the cell phones were down. We have been working hard on our food storage and 72 hour kits but communication was lacking.

I am so happy that the Merdian articles have been helpful. Please let me know if there is some aspect of preparedness that I can address which is of particular concern to your group. The more comments and feedback I get the better. You might check out the money saving tips also since some of this does take money.

Thanks for your website. I am the leader of a group of ladies trying to be prepared. I have used many of your articles from Meridian Magazine and now I will check here frequently to help prepare our group.

Great! For the washer and dryer I would suggest liquid laundry detergent, a bucket or tub(uses less water than filling a bathtub and it can be placed on a counter or table, easier on the back)also a drying rack is good or rope and clothes pins. Even in bad weather you could hang dry your clothes in a room in the house where there was some heat from a fireplace or the oven. I even have an old fashioned wash board that I could use if I really had to. My nana would be proud. Over the next three week we will be gathering or purchasing the items needed to replace the loss of electricity.

We did #1 today, but I forgot about the dishwasher and washing machine & dryer. What would I do to replace those? a bath tub to wash in and a drying rack?

I don’t have much time today, but I just put flashlights under all of our beds. I like the idea of using glow sticks. I’ll have to get some. It feels good to be able to check something off my list for the week, even though today is a busy day. I think tomorrow I will tackle my medicine cabinet…it is kind of a mess!

Today I’m sorting the medicine cabinets! I have a feeling I’ll have a long list of things to replace…
