The Cathedral Close

There will be a special program on emergency preparedness held on April 14^th at 7 pm at St. Alban’s Church, 4006 Hermitage Road, Richmond VA 23222.

Representatives from Shelf-Reliance, specialists in food storage and emergency preparedness food products and other sustainment items,  will discuss how to:

**Create your own “Home Store” & always have the food you need

**Set up a “PLANNER” to plan how much food your family needs for a given length of time.

**Fit a monthly “Q” into your food budget to order that food and be ready for any emergency.

We will be discussing the 5 Principles of Preparedness

Being prepared to handle any emergency-short or long term, natural or man-made disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, financial meltdown and escalating crime, snd so forth.

1. Self Reliance

Learn self-reliant skills to take care of as many of your needs on your own as you can. Meet with other like-minded people to do what you cannot do.

2. A Year’s Supply

Food Insurance-(like health and car insurance) having a year’s supply on hand gives peace of mind for any emergency

3. Thrift and Frugality

Challenge yourself to see how to see how little you can survive on. Learn to re-use many things and make items have multiple uses.

4. Independence

Can you become independent of electricity, your employer, government programs, etc? The more you are, the better you will survive a financial breakdown or any other emergency.

5. Industrious

Keep busy learning new skills you may need in the future for yourself or to barter.

Being prepared is nothing new. Our grandparents always had food on hand. It was not normal to not be prepared. People were self reliant, bartered their skills, and relied on themselves to take care of their needs. Only in the past few decades have we become more dependent on someone else supplying our food, health care needs, income, and other necessities.

We hope to see you at this important and informative program.
