Basic Emergency Preparation

For Prophetic Global Changes, Natural Disasters and Economic Transitions

We have been receiving warnings from God about coming events, some which have been recorded in the scriptures, like Daniel. Recently we have had two hurricanes in less than two weeks in the U.S. and have seen many natural disasters in the past few years. God says it’s high time to prepare!

This is a short list of the most important items to address as soon as you can. We will be making a more thorough video on each aspect of this list, but feel it is God’s will to give you an outline of the basic essentials to prepare those who are just becoming aware of the need to get ready. The main categories of preparation for the coming storms are: Spiritual preparation, clean water, back up heat and energy, food, personal hygiene, healthcare, safety, education, and finance.

1) Spritual Preparation: The first and most important step in preparing to survive the global reset IS to be in close relationship and obedience to God and Christ, walking by the spirit, and hearing them. They will speak, lead, direct and protect us in every situation, providing for every need – 24 7. Think of Exodus! FEAR NOT! Above all we trust God for abundant supply, safety, health and prosperity. We strongly believe that as we stay faithful in prayer, fellowship, and obeying God, He will lead us through these transitions with peace. As we draw nearer to God and stay in fellowship with Him and walking IN CHRIST daily, we will receive all we need. Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?Turn to Jesus Christ for salvation, then follow him for wholeness.

2) Clean Water: For level one or one to two weeks survival after a disaster, you will need 1 gallon of water per/person per day. Clean water for drinking, cooking and bathing is a necessity. You cannot survive without it! (3 day rule) Consider bottled water, or 5 gallon jugs from Home Depot. For level two and beyond, consider a filtration system like a countertop Berkey filter, or even a home system for the long term. Larger water storage tanks are available in many sizes and budgets. Rain barrels are great for bathing & gardening water.

3) Plan for back up heat, Some heating options are firewood, indoor rated propane heaters like the “Little Buddy or Mr. Buddy” on Amazon, for less than $150, or even canned heat stoves for both cooking and heat with INDOOR rated canned sterno. You must have a carbon monoxide detector for safe use. The main reason to prepare for back up heat is obviously winter temperatures. If you get caught unprepared, or your plan is insufficient: you can improvise by setting up a tent in a small room, covering it with a blanket and huddling together inside. Body heat, double socks, hats, scarves, and gloves are great tools to protect you. Always have a plan B location and make sure you have an open invitation to go there. Have fire extinguishers and lighters.

4) Energy, lighting, cooking etc.– There are many kinds of energy options like small solar power banks for around $30 that will charge your phone for several days, and larger battery storage from companies like Pecron, or Ecoflow, that can be pre charged with electricity, a generator, or even solar power, and kept available to run appliances, and electronics. These can be very helpful for communication when the power is down. For lighting, solar or battery-operated lanterns are the safest way to light up your spaces, and can be recharged when the sun comes out. Glass jar candles can cheer up a gloomy room, but a are a hazard with kids and not great for carrying around. For cooking, consider charcoal and propane for outdoor cooking on a grill, or purchase indoor rated canned heat and a small camp stove for $20. Think through shared living arrangements if you do not have heat or feel your personal safety is at risk. You can huddle together with family and support each other physically, emotionally, spiritually.

4) Food: Stock up your food pantry for a minimum of 8 weeks if possible. Do your best! Consider 50 lbs each of mixed beans and rice will provide 400 1 cup/ 300 calorie servings. That’s one, small meal a day for a family of four, for four months. Most people will eat 600 calories which is a 2 cup serving, and if you were having two or more meals per day, you would run out after one month. Maybe buy some oatmeal, dried fruit and canned veggies Think through breakfast, lunch and dinners, for a minimum of 2000 cal./per person/day. The easiest foods to start with are those in pull top cans and glass jars. They are already packaged properly and most will last for several years. Beans and rice are a complete carb protein meal and will carry you through a long while, but if you only have dried foods, make sure you are prepared to be able to cook them. Paper plates and cups can be wonderful in power outages and water shortages.

Proper long term food storage: Package in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers: flours, noodles, beans and rice and any dry goods. The Lord said we will have several lean years, so buying while there’s plenty will be less costly.

FREEZE anything with fat or moisture – meats, nuts or any fresh fruits, veggies, or baked goods need to be vacuum sealed and kept frozen. If you don’t have a generator, buy canned goods like chicken, fruits, veggies, and snacks. Remember drinks like tea and coffee, oil, boxed milk, and seasonings.

5) Stock up on personal Hygiene items: soaps, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, creams, things in your bathroom you use every day. STAY CLEAN: get a portable Shower, Baby wipes for hands and body, air fresheners (no running water) store extra toilet paper, have a 5 gal. bucket to use as an emergency toilet, or put a disposable garbage bag over your indoor potty and always carry waste out inside another bucket. Think through a place to bury or dispose of waste. Study proper sanitation. Consider a burn barrel.

6) Healthcare: Schedule your annual visits now, buy extra prescription medicines (Jasemedical.com). Ask for a travel supply of any necessary medications for six months. Most pharmacies will happily sell you extra, if you will pay for it. Get extra eyeglasses or contacts, stock feminine products and diapers if needed. Anything your pets need? Have the best first aid kit you can manage with an emergency care at home book. Learn CPR if you don’t know it now. Learn which neighbors have medical skills. Buy extra garbage bags.

7) Home safety: think about how you can secure your home. When rioting, food shortages and panic are present, people will often behave badly. Take a walk around your home, property, or housing environment, and decide what to do about making it as safe as possible. Again, if you cannot secure it, make plans to shelter with family or friends during the most challenging times. Secure your property with locks, cameras, solar and battery-operated lighting, and consider self-defense, and window signs.

8) Educate yourself: Decide to thrive in peace and safety! There are many books, and many you tube videos on preparing for disasters, long term black outs, food shortages and so on. Learn all you can to help your family be well prepared in advance. Consider “The Provident Prepper” https://www.amazon.com/Provident-Prepper-Common-Sense-Preparing-Emergencies.

1) Finances: have cash on hand, (We have been warned the banks will be closed at times and will not have cash in ATM;s, gas pumps, grocery store registers don’t work when the power is out.) protect your investments, own silver and gold if possible, do not borrow. Avoid most tech and blue-chip stocks and CBDC’s.

We are able, remember to do what you can and work through the list starting with your spiritual needs being your number one priority.

God bless you!
