President Ezra Taft Benson said, "The revelation to store food may be as essential to our temporal salvation today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah...For the righteous, the gospel provides a warning before a calamity, a program for the crises, a refuge for each disaster. The Lord has warned us of famines, but the righteous will have listened to prophets and stored at least a year's supply of survival food" -Ezra Taft Benson - God, Family, Country: Our Three Great Loyalties

Sunday - Day 7: Ward Emergency - HOW"S YOUR FAMILY? (For those in Eastvale 1st Ward - anyone else should scroll down to see your scenario)

***EASTVALE 1 WARD MEMBERS - IMPORTANT NOTE FOR SUNDAY’S CHALLENGE: Today we are testing our Ward Emergency Plan. Those people in NOT in the Eastvale 1st Ward will complete a different scenario today (scroll down to see it).

Here is our scenario:
Our area has suffered a devastating earthquake and we need to make sure that all the members of the ward are accounted for and see if they have any needs that we should be aware of.


DAILY LIMITATIONS AND TASKS:
•For this day, and ALL days of the challenge: no spending money, no going to stores, and no restaurants.
•All Home Teachers need to contact EACH of their families and check on their status.
•Although you have the information now, you should wait until Sunday to contact your families. All calls to families should be completed before 11:00 am Sunday morning.
•Each Home Teacher needs to contact his Home Teaching Supervisor by 11:00 am to report his findings.
•Some families have been given specific scenarios to report when they are contacted (missing spouse, broken leg, caved in home, etc.), please relay that information to the Home Teaching Supervisor.
•Our goal is to find EVERY scenario that has been given to the assigned families and make sure that it gets reported to the Home Teaching Supervisor who will be reporting it to the Bishop. We want to see if the Bishop hears about all the needs throughout the ward.
•To celebrate the END of the 7-Day-Challenge (woo-hoo!!), we will be meeting at the Biehn’s home for ice cream at 7:00 pm TONIGHT (casual dress)! Please make sure to share that information with EACH of your Home Teaching Families!!

ADVANCED REQUIREMENTS (for anyone who feels up to it)
•Make face-to-face contact with your assigned Home Teaching families.

The goal with the 7 Day Challenge is to explore and evaluate how prepared we are for whatever emergencies may come our way. Try to participate to the EXTENT POSSIBLE with your entire family. It is okay to modify the scenario to fit the needs/schedule/circumstances of your family. And, if the most that you can do on a given day is walk through the scenario in your head and discuss it with your family – that’s ok! Anything is better than nothing!
Please make sure to:
*Fill out the Data Form on a Daily basis.
*Log onto www.EastvalePrepared.blogspot.com and answer the questions and leave comments. This will help us to analyze and understand the results of the 7 Day Challenge (everyone should do this - even if you are not a member of our ward, and even if you just walk through the scenario in your head).
*Participate in the ongoing discussion on Facebook (Eastvale Prepared). Share pictures, your experience, thoughts, ideas, and insights. Let’s learn from each other!
