Family Gear Box:  Kitchen supplies - paper plates, bowls and cups, stirring, serving and eating utensils, paper towels, dish washing and sanitizing supplies, water purification items.

Family Preparation:  The following are guidelines if a thunderstorm is likely in your area:




1)  Get inside a home, building or hard top automobile.  Although you may be injured if lightning strikes your car, you are much safer in a vehicle than outside.

2)  Avoid showering or bathing.  Plumbing and bathroom fixtures can conduct electricity.

3)  Use a corded telephone only for emergencies.  Cordless and cellular telephones are safe to use.

4)  Unplug appliances and other electrical items such as computers and turn off air conditioners.  Power surges from lightning can cause serious damage.

Spiritual Preparation:  Read 2 Nephi 28:30-32.   Our Father in Heaven has promised us that he will be there for us.  How much he gives us is dependent on our diligence and faithfulness.
