emergency food preparedness
Does your religion/Church encourage food storage/emergency preparedness?

I’ve noticed as of late that more religions than just LDS seem to be encouraging their members to have food storage and/or emergency preparedness items.

I actually think this is a great thing for Churches to do. Does your Church do this?

By the way, this is NOT a flame another religion, my-religion-is-better-than-yours question. If you can’t state things in a polite way, please just skip this question and move on to another one.
Yes, food storage for yourself/family. I’ve noticed that some Churches are encouraging their members to do so.

Food Storage isn’t for The Rapture. Rather for things like Katrina, rising prices of gas and foods, death in the family, divorce, unemployment, war, famine, ect.

I’ve just noticed that some Churches have decided it would be a good idea for members to be better prepared.

Anybody who thinks this is “unChristian” or hoarding of some sort needs to remember the story of Joseph in Genesis, Pharoh’s dreams of the seven fat, seven skinny cows, and the resulting food storage efforts that saved the people during the famine.

I believe in praying as though it was all I can do, and working as though it is all I can do.

Bulk buying, home canning/preserving, and proper storage and rotation methods are all not only wise and environmentally friendly, they are characteristics of being a good steward with our blessings.

You cannot deliver a box of groceries to a needy family if you do not have them.

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have developed rapidly in recent years and now provide powerful tools for the capture, manipulation, integration, interrogation, modelling, analysis and visualisation of data - tools that are already used for policy support in a wide range of areas at almost all geographic and administrative levels. This holds especially for emergency preparedness and health risk reduction, which are all essentially spatial problems. To date, however, many initiatives have remained disconnected and uncoordinated, leading to less powerful, less compatible and less widely implemented systems than might otherwise have been the case. The important matters discussed here include the probabilistic nature of most environmental hazards and the semi-random factors that influence interactions between these and human exposures; the effects of temporal and spatial scales on hazard assessment and imputed risk; the effects of measurement error in risk estimation and the stratification of risks and their impacts according to socioeconomic characteristics; and the quantification of socioeconomic differences in vulnerability and susceptibility to environmental hazards. GIS are powerful analytical tools in their own right, but what is needed is much more effective communication between the many disciplines, professions and stakeholders concerned - something which this book helps to achieve.

Terrorist Threats to Food Terrorist Threats to Food

The malicious contamination of food for terrorist purposes is a real and current threat, and deliberate contamination of food at one location could have global public health implications. This book responds to increasing concern in WHO s Member States that chemical, biological or radionuclear agents might be used deliberately to harm civilian populations and that food might be a vehicle for disseminating such agents. The two major strategies for countering the threat of food sabotage are prevention and response, including preparedness. Chapter 1 introduces the problem and places it in the context of other food safety emergencies. Chapter 2 outlines the preventive aspects that can be incorporated into food safety programmes to meet the new threat of food sabotage. Chapter 3 addresses the surveillance, preparedness and response elements specific to food safety, to facilitate their inclusion in existing national emergency response plans and to achieve balance between threats to food safety and other threats. In chapter 4, the current activities of WHO in this regard and a proposal for strengthening collaboration to assure more effective alert and response systems for food terrorism are presented. Establishment and strengthening of food safety programmes will both increase Member States capacity to reduce the increasing burden of foodborne illness and help them to address the threat of food terrorism.
