Few things scare a mother more than a lockdown or safety crisis at her child’s school. Fear makes calm, sensible people frantic and fierce. This is a tough time for schools. Their first priority is protecting children. A lockdown is serious business. School staffers are tied up assessing the threat, talking to police, making sure […]

I didn't find this nifty little chart until afterward. It's got some good tips so I'm including it here. Click on it to see full size. Tonight we had a family home evening about preparing for an earthquake. We live in northern Utah, and it's common knowledge that a sizable earthquake has been predicted for a long time. Besides that, prophesies talk about various natural disasters happening before the Savior's Second Coming. So as part of our preparations, we wanted to review earthquake preparedness. It was pretty simple. Here's what we did. 1) Made sure each person has a shoe box under his or her bed with shoes and a working flashlight. 2) Reviewed what to do during an earthquake. "Drop, cover, and hold on." Crouch down next to an inner wall or a low piece of furniture, or under a sturdy desk or table and hold onto the table legs. If possible grab a nearby pillow or something else to shield from falling glass or wall hangings. We talked about scenarios in bedrooms and in our kitchen/family room area. 3) Reviewed what to do after an earthquake. Call to make sure everyone in the house is safe. Go outside to our meeting spot while a parent assesses damage. If there are issues like water or fire, take these precautions: 4) Turn off gas. My husband showed us how to do this with a special tool. 5) Turn off water. My husband taught us two places we can turn off the water to the whole house. 6) Turn off power. We practiced doing this. It was the easiest thing to turn off and on. 7) Within the last year we did a drill using a rope ladder from an upstairs bedroom and meeting at our family meeting place, so we didn't do this again. You can see pictures of that here. Because I don't have the best memory, I took notes on the instructions of turning these things off. I'm going to laminate the instructions and wire attach it to the special tool that turns stuff off, both kept in a special place. Here is my sticky note that I wrote down directions as Mike taught us what to do. After I typed up the directions I realized the tool already has directions about turning off gas. That's okay, because my instructions include more details about turning off more things. We decided to keep these shut-off tools in a drawer right next to the garage door. We have a spare, which came with a strap to attach it to the gas meter which we may do. We bore our testimonies to our children that following the Spirit and praying for protection are real and they make a difference. I don't feel fear or panic. I just feel an urgency to get as prepared as we can be. Tomorrow night we're having a family work project in the basement. If there were an earthquake, we live in an area with high water table and we wouldn't want our camping and preparedness gear to be flooded in our unfinished basement. So we decided to: Move some of that gear to our missionary son's bedroom upstairs since it's not being used right now anyway. This includes our emergency kits. We're also gathering some used buckets to put our non-food storage in like soaps, tooth products, feminine products, school supplies, and so on. A friend of mine posted an idea to attach strips of orange construction barrier webbing or something else to her storage shelves to keep things from falling off in an earthquake. Looking at the glass bottles and such on my shelves I think that's a great idea. I also wonder if it's a good investment to put childproof locks on cupboards that have breakable dishes like stoneware or glass. I'm considering bolting bookcases to walls. We've already done this to our water heater. This is a pic taken of our family work project. This was me checking to make sure we had snow pants and sun hats for each family member.

I think Wednesday is my favorite post day of the week. I love being able to do something that I can check off my list and it actually stays done for a while. With the dishes and the laundry, the check mark on my To Do List only stays checked for a minute and then it's time to do it all over again. Can I get a Whoot Whoot for laundry?!? Love It! I have two projects for you today. (Should be a productive day!) The first project is the Emergency School Bags. The second project is an organizing project that will help you to get the kids ready for school . . . STRESS-FREE! Here we go . . . Emergency School Bags can be stored in a tote in your child's classroom. The contents fit into a gallon-sized Ziploc bag and are filled by the parents. The Contents Include: N95 Mask Water Food Bar Small Bag of Candy Small Flashlight Rain Poncho Small Emergency Blanket Glow Bracelet Family Picture A Small Wrapped Gift (To keep their hands busy and their minds in a happy place.) A Letter from Mom and Dad (If you are not able to get to them for a while, a letter from you could really help to them feel more secure in a scary situation.) and a Quick Glance I.D. Tag Front: Back: Here's the PDF: Child I.D. Card PDF (Use page 3 of the PDF as your Quick Glance I.D. Tag) The Emergency School Bags will be sent home with the child on the last day of school. The only thing you would need to trade out for the next year is the Food Bar, Water, and Candy. The Letter, Family Photo, and I.D. Tag can also be up-dated. I give my kids the gift as a little graduation to the next class surprise, so that will also have to be replaced for the next year. This is definately a project that needs to organized by the parents. Teacher's have a lot on their plates and anything we can do to lighten their load will be much appreciated I'm sure! I love simple things that can make such a difference in an Emergency Situation.
