Christian Veterans of the Bitterroot will help the local community with family disaster preparedness by teaching people how to put together 72 hour kits in case of an emergency.

1.      Corvallis, MT – The Christian Veterans of the Bitterroot will help our neighbors prepare themselves for possible local disasters. On Saturday, April 25^th, 2015 we will be showing the public how to construct a 72 hour kit that we pray they will never have to use. This training will take place at The Lone Rock Bible Church located at 1142 3 Mile Creek Road just north of the Lone Rock School. Classes will begin at 10:00 a.m. sharp. We are asking everyone to bring a can of chicken soup. A large pot of chicken soup will be prepared and at 12 noon we will sit down to enjoy soup, bread and some discussion about the preparedness classes. 

The Objectives

Local, state and national agencies are asking the public to prepare themselves with enough food, water and supplies to last at least 72 hours in case of an emergency. Local officials, and relief workers may not be on the scene right after a disaster. Prepared citizens who have their own supplies are not a burden on emergency workers. This allows for local officials, relief workers and first responders to deal with the actual emergency. We have local officials and military veterans teaching these classes.

Conclusion

Often the hardest part of a project is getting started. Please plan to attend the training this weekend and we will help you get started. Whether you cannot get motivated or you think it is too expensive. We will give you ideas and techniques on how to start and build your 72 hour kit. Please join us. “For when they shall say, Peace and safety, then shall come upon them sudden destruction, as the travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape.”

(1 Thessalonians 5:3)
