Most of us realize our fatal weakness in preparedness issues deals with either proper sanitation or living in the cold either in our homes or out of our homes.

I felt impressed to put this on the blog so that someone might benefit from this.  I do not know the people involved or the location of this.  I would go if I were closer to Utah.  I do know that I have seen people suffer – and I would do anything to lessen suffering.  It is not a pleasant thing to see:

Winter Preparation Class-
” When Disaster Strikes in Winter”
Thursday January 14th
6:30 – 8:30 pm
AIS Building Upstairs
2507 S. 1900 W.
West Haven, Utah
Presenter – Jim Phillips from Safe Harbor Alliance
People are truly unprepared to Live In Winter Without Utilities and/or Shelter. This class identifies and examines the critical aspects and dangers of cold weather Most people tolerate winter as a seasonal inconvenience while staying inside of a “warm box” most of the time (homes, buildings, vehicles, etc.). Some go outside in winter to work or play for a few hours, some even a few days, but all have the firm expectation of coming back to a warm shelter and avoiding long-term exposure to winter conditions. When things go wrong and that warm-up expectation is not met on schedule, discomfort and misery are at hand. Serious injury, and even death can follow shortly for the ignorant and unprepared. When utilities are off, or vehicles are stuck or broken down, when you cannot get back from an outside excursion, or when the “perfect storm” of events happen in winter at home or away, you may find yourself seriously threatened by the cold. Being really cold is very unpleasant, and being cold for any extended period seriously impacts ones attitude and performance at any task.
