"May we always remember those who lost their lives this
day"
"God bless
them and their loved ones"
May we
always be prepared to help others
"God's Word tells us, what good is our
faith if we don't help others out, with food and
clothing
"Dear brothers, what's the use of
saying that you have faith and are Christians if you aren't proving
it by helping others? Will that kind of faith save anyone? If you
have a friend who is in need of food and clothing, and you say to
him, "Well, good-bye and God bless you; stay warm and eat hearty,"
and then don't give him clothes or food, what good does that do? So
you see, it isn't enough just to have faith. You must also do good
to prove that you have it. Faith that doesn't show itself by good
works is no faith at all-it is dead and useless." James14-17
God does not expect us to know when a
natural disaster is going to happen each and every time. But He does expect us to be prepared as much as possible so
that we can help ourselves as well as help all others. God's Word
tells us that a wise man will see trouble coming and will take steps
to avoid it. Due to the world wide publicity of the two recent
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, most of us are painfully
aware of the basic issues of having enough food and water
that should last us for at least a week or two for every person
in our family including transportation and
logistics.
But very few
of us seldom recognized the priority of having every important
document that you will need right after a disaster so that we can be
processed faster to get back into the system. So that
we can obtain the much needed aid from our State and
Government level such as Fema and other Blessed organizations that
are set up to help save lives as well as to provide quality short
term and long term living arrangements. We hope to include a
list of every piece of document and items that you should have
available at a moments noticed stored in a waterproof and fireproof
place.
We
hope to have the necessary information and resources for
everyone to be better prepared from every worse case senario. From
family emergency's to natural disasters. The more that we are
better prepared as a people, the more that we help out our
Government in times of National Disasters. The more that we
stand strong as one Nation under God.
For now, the
most important items and documents that you will need, including the
links to get extra copies of your documents are listed
below!
Please make sure you
have the following documents and items listed below kept in a
waterproof and fireproof box. Don't wait until the next emergency or
disaster to start getting prepared, depending on circumstances
that may be out of your control, you may only have a few minutes to
leave your home for the last time. And remember to always keep the
faith that God will never leave you or forsake you.

ON A "TIGHT BUDGET!"
Here's a water storage
tip! Don't throw
away your used two-liter plastic soda bottles.
Rinse and clean any soda left in bottle, then fill
with clean tap water, and twist the cap back on and date each
bottle so that you will know when to replace the
water every few months. With the twist cap, you don't have
to worry about the caps popping off like on the plastic
milk containers during moving around. Try to have enough clean
drinking water that will last each person in your family for 1 to 2
weeks minimum. Start today, your family will love you for it as well
as be blessed for it!
