Ark Prep 101 - Things Change When Emergencies Hit Close to Home!

The fire in Herriman was a 

sad reminder of just how quickly

things can go from a regular day

to an

EMERGENCY SITUATION.

We were in the Cove Fort Fire in 2007.

We had gone to visit my husband's parents

who were serving their mission in that area.

The fire that at first seemed so far away,

surrounded us in a matter of minutes.

The campground was filled with smoke which

made the evacuation even more difficult.

We had to load up the camper and evacuate

the area very quickly. 

I think the scariest moment was when my oldest

son left the motorhome just as we were ready

to drive off.  He was worried about his grandma

having to drive alone in her car, so he had

gone to ride with her without telling any of us

about his plan.

Thankfully everyone was ok.

We learned a lot that day!

I know that I posted the "Grab 'n Go" List a while ago,

but this just seemed like a good time to bring it out again.

(Thanks goes to Natalie for thinking of it!)

Here's the PDF:

{Post this list on the door of a coat closet or somewhere EASY to get to!}

Remember, to practice, practice, practice!

Give everyone his or her assignments and then

walk them through and show them exactly what to do.

The list is broken down into different times.

Sometimes you have only minutes

and other times you may have up to an hour.

In a Emergency Situation

EVERY MINUTE COUNTS.

WITH A PLAN . . .

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THE MOST

OF EVERY MINUTE!
