Tuesday - Day 2: IT'S A PANDEMIC - TIME FOR QUARANTINE!

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 http://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!

Tuesday

DAY 2: IT’S A PANDEMIC – TIME FOR QUARANTINE!
There has been an outbreak of the swine flu (or something like it) in your city, and you are ordered into quarantine in your home. (YESTERDAY’S LIMITATIONS DON’T APPLY, THESE ARE ALL NEW)

DAILY LIMITATIONS AND TASKS:
•For this day, and ALL days of the challenge: no spending money, no going to stores, and no restaurants. Today is more of a “THINKING” day then a “DOING” day.
•You can’t leave your house at all (if you have a prior commitment – it’s ok to attend! Participate to the extent that you can!)
•Some of your family members have been infected and have fevers/stomach flu and need proper medication.
•You need to provide comfort foods to infected family members to make them feel better.
•You have used up ALL the toilet paper and paper towels in your bathroom and kitchen, you can only use what you have stored extra (wherever that may be).
•The family members that have not been infected will stay healthy so long as they follow proper recommendations, meaning proper hand washing and sanitizing, and even wearing face masks.

ADVANCED REQUIREMENTS (for anyone who feels up to it)
•This is the 7th day or your quarantine, so ALL your fridge food is gone.
•You actually REALLY have to stay home – NO CHEATING!

REMEMBER, TOMORROW’S LIMITATIONS AND TASKS WILL BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. How long would you have lasted under these conditions? Would you be able to stay in your house for an extended amount of time? Did you have all of the 'non-food' storage items that you may need?
