Welcome to The Prepared Virginian!

This year we will be participating in an experiment called Project Noah. Over the course of the year we will be making weekly posts which will include assignments which, if followed, can help your family be better prepared for emergencies.

We also plan to share our own family's journey to being better prepared as the year unfolds.
Thanks for joining us!

PROJECT NOAH-JANUARY WEEK #3

Purchase Items


1. 6 lbs shortening-sticks or can(write date, FREEZE)
2. 1 Gallon of Water per person (write date on lids)
3. Dry Pack (Oats, Sugar and Cocoa)



Activity (FHE or Saturday)

Now that you have your inventory and have calculated what you need (week 1&2 activities), try to calculate the total cost.  Here is the price list for the Home Storage Center.    Dry Pack ordering can be an economical way to build your basic supplies.  This week will involve a little more research to calculate the cost of items you intend to purchase elsewhere.  Once you have an estimated total, divide that total cost by 12 months and see how much needs to be purchased each month. Make a plan that works for your budget.
