They said we were prepared for 3 days not a whole month. We need to have much more than a 72 hour kit.

What the peop[le of the northeast need more than a can of beans and a blanket is federal assistance to clean up and rebuild, something Mr. Romney thinks is immoral, although he took federal money when he himself was governor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-76421585358187692032012-10-30T22:42:08.669-05:002012-10-30T22:42:08.669-05:00It is interesting that years ago Mormon's were...It is interesting that years ago Mormon's were the only one's who had emergency preparedness and food storage, and over the years more and more non-Mormon's are following suit.<br /><br />People really do not realize how fast the LDS church moves, and contributes, during disasters all over the world.<br /><br />Good reminder.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-51811494185706751732012-10-30T18:54:58.378-05:002012-10-30T18:54:58.378-05:00Hi Jeff, I read your blog often and find it very i...Hi Jeff, I read your blog often and find it very interesting. I must say that as I've been watching the storm in America on CNN I've gained a greater desire to be prepared, to have a bigger food and water storage and to be ready for power outages.Duncan D.
