I have been wanting to have this EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PARTY for a very long time. We finally made it happen! I thought it turned out well. I brought a bunch of my stuff and gave out some information to hopefully get the family MOTIVATED to get started in BEING PREPARED for an EMERGENCY. We talked about MAKING A PLAN, WATER, SHELTER, HEAT, LIGHT, FOOD, AND SANITATION. I didn't want it to be overwhelming so I just gave some basic info. But I wanted them to be able to take something home to get them started. We made HEAT CANS to keep us warm in a car if we are stranded in the winter, or to use in the home for a HEAT SOURCE. It was fun! Then we made 45 days of LIGHT just by adding a WICK into a large CRISCO CAN. I also provided BINDERS for them to make their EMERGENCY BINDER which includes all the important papers you would hate to lose such as passports, birth certificates, etc... I then gave out a bunch of HANDOUTS. Another thing we did was we tried a bunch of different FREEZE DRIED FOOD to see if it was any good. It was! And Jessica and Erin made VEGETABLE SOUP and homemade BREAD in the WONDER OVEN. It turned out so good!! We are going to get together again to go over FOOD STORAGE, CAR KITS, AND FIRST AID. I hope it was helpful for everyone who came. I am so glad we did this.
