Preparation is critical to our salvation.  Both ancient and modern prophets have encouraged true followers of Jesus Christ to prepare themselves in every needful way (D&C 109:8).  Indeed, Jesus Christ has commanded us to prepare ourselves for the days that lie ahead.  In response to this admonition the Yuba City Stake desires to help its members to be more temporally prepared for the tumultuous times in which we live.  This will help our families be more secure and will give Ward leaders information that will be useful in times of great need.  This plan is intended to give members a simple path to basic temporal preparedness.

Short Term Focus – This plan is designed to assist members in achieving a short-term level of preparedness for their families. It focuses on basic needs such as short-term food, water, shelter, transportation, communications, and planning for each family.

Reporting – The purpose of reporting in this plan is intended to provide meaningful information which will allow Stake and Ward leaders to understand the preparedness level of its members and help them make appropriate emergency response decisions in the event of an emergency.

Level One preparedness can be achieved by accomplishing the following:

You may choose to use the following links to resources that can help you learn and prepare for emergency situations. These are only a few of many resources available, and each family should research and plan how best to prepare for their own individual needs.

Once the criteria for Level One have been completed for your family you can report to your Ward Representative. A Family Preparedness Sheet can be turned in with basic information about your preparedness level. This will help ward leaders assess needs during an emergency event.
