Class Description

This is a class on emergency preparedness and food storage. You will learn how to prepare a 72-hour emergency kit (and why), food storage basics (including shelflife), and how to develop a preparedness mindset. There is no need for fear when you have considered many of the what-ifs, resolved a manageable contingency plan for potential challenges, and allowed trust to bring you peace of mind. Preparedness instills within us trust of ourselves, trust of our intuition, trust of our decisions both pre-established and in the moment, and trust of a higher power. When challenge arrives, you can choose fear or faith. The preparedness mindset is one of faith.
