I read the article this morning. It is very good at addressing some of the excuses I have heard. I wish I could get people in our ward more focused on storage and emergency prep. With the military base next door there is a false sense of security. Many folks believe the Navy will be able to take care of them. Getting a sense of urgency is nearly impossible. Our ward emergency preparedness guy has not been to church in years. "Communication specialist? I think that it might be brother Jones." was the answer I got from the bishopric. I gave up and decided to get my own house in order and not worry about the ward.
