How much water should you drink each day?

Half your body weight in ounces!

If you weigh 200 pounds, you will need 100 oz. of water. That is approx. 3 quarts. A quart is 32 oz. A 1.5 liter bottle has 6 servings of 8 oz., which makes it 48 oz.

People usually have on hand dehydrated food in case of emergencies but forget about an even more important substance . . . water!

DROUGHT 2012: U.N. NOW WARNING OF

LOOMING FOOD PRICE ‘CATASTROPHE’

Droughts in the U.S. have forced the U.S. Agriculture Department to slash its forecast for the nation’s corn crops to only 10.8 billion bushels, the lowest amount since 2006, TheBlaze reported last month.

“If that estimate holds, the federal government says it will be enough to meet the world’s needs and avoid shortages, but experts say food prices will almost certainly climb as corn is an ingredient in many products,” the AP reported.

These droughts, other global environmental events, and the food shortages they have caused have U.N. officials scared enough to warn that the world may soon face a food price “catastrophe.”

“We need to act urgently to make sure that these price shocks do not turn into a catastrophe hurting tens of millions over the coming months,” the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FAO, the International Fund for Agricultural  Development, and the World Food Programme said in a statement yesterday.

“We need to remain vigilant and prepare for the worst in the short run, while working on sustainable solutions for the long haul,” the statement adds.

The agencies claim poor and food import-dependent countries would be hit hardest by spikes in raw food commodities. They also argue world leaders need to take immediate action, including investing “much more in agriculture and social protection, including programmes that help poor people to access food that has become unaffordable in their local markets.”

“Until we find the way to shock-proof and climate-proof our food system, the danger will remain. In the short term, this has costs, not only for those directly impacted, but also for the international community at large,” the statement reads.

FOOD CRISIS

The world is in serious trouble on the

food front.

The US Department of Agriculture said the worst drought in half a century is expected to drive up the price of milk, beef and pork next year, according to The New York Times.

Some food prices, like chicken and turkey, are expected to rise as early as this fall.

“The poultry category is the smallest animal category, and we expect to see more of an effect this year because they grow the fastest and will be first to be impacted by higher feed prices,” said Richard Volpe, an economist with the USDA.

The data, released on Wednesday, shows increases in beef, dairy, eggs and pork in 2013.

“It can take up to nine months for rises in agricultural commodity prices to filter through into higher food prices in the stores,” said Paul Dales, senior US economist at Capital Economics Ltd., according to Bloomberg.

Meteorologists are predicting that conditions behind the drought will continue, putting crops at risk and raising food prices as well as the specter of a food crisis, according to Al Jazeera.

The Guardian noted that early this spring farmers planted 96 million acres of corn, the most in 75 years. A warm spring helped the crop, but the scorching heat and drought conditions of summer have ensured only 26 percent of the crop is rated good to excellent.

Al Jazeera noted that corn is a “mega-crop” involved in the production of everything from meat to cereal and fuel.

The US is the leading producer and exporter of corn, the Guardian noted. Corn accounts for four-fifths of the US grain harvest and exceeds China’s rice and wheat harvests combined. Corn prices have increased by nearly one half since the beginning of June and reached an all-time high in mid-July, said the Guardian.

The US Department of Agriculture predicts a sharp drop in corn exports, with prices for corn and soy beans already reaching record highs, said Al Jazeera.

The government said 88 percent of the corn crop and 77 percent of the soybean crop has been affected by the drought, according to The Times.

Lester R. Brown, the president of the Earth Policy Institute, wrote for the Guardian, noting that world stocks of grain will fall further near the end of this year, worsening an already precarious global food situation.

“The world is in serious trouble on the food front. But there is little evidence that political leaders have yet grasped the magnitude of what is happening,” he said.

The Hopi Say – Realize That We Are One Family.

Time evolves and it comes to a place where it renews again.

There is first a clarification time and then there is a renewal time.

We are getting very close to this time now.

We were told that we would see America come and go.  In a sense, America is dying from within because the flaunting instructions on how to live on earth.

Everything is coming to the time when prophecy and man’s inability to live on earth in a spiritual way will come to a crossroad of great problems.

Thus the Hopi believe… that we all believe is, if you are not spiritually connected to the earth and understand the spirituality of how it is on earth, sadly you will not make it.

When Columbus came, what began what we term as the first world war, that was the first true first world war when Columbus arrived, because along with him came everybody from Europe.

By the end of the second world war, we were in America only 800,000. From 60 milllion to 800 thousand so we were almost exterminated here in America.

Everything is spiritual. Everything has a spirit.  Everything.

Everything is brought here by the Creator.  The one Creator.

Some people call Him God. Some people call him Buddah.

Some people call Him Allah, Some people call him other names.

We call him Konkachila.  Heavenly Father.

We’re here on early only a few winters then we go to the spirit world.

The spirit world is more real than most of us believe.

The spirit world is everything.

Over 95 percent of our body is water. In order to stay healthy you’ve got to drink good water.  When the European first came here, Columbus, we could drink out of any river.

If the Europeans had lived the Indian way when they came, we’d still be drinking our water because the water is sacred.  The air is sacred.  Our DNA is made of the same DNA as the tree.  The tree breathes what we exhale.  When the tree exhales, we need what the tree exhales. So, we have a common destiny with the tree.

We are all from the earth.  And when the earth, the water, the atmosphere is corrupted then the great atone reaction.  Another reactor when the Hopi professor say a storms are scheduled to become greater.

To me it’s not a negative thing to know that there will be great changes.  It’s not negative.  It’s evolution.  When you look at it as evolution, it’s time.   Nothing stays the same.

(Referring to the monkey) We all say, that might be your ancestor . . . but it’s not our ancestor.  He is a relative but not an ancestor.

We should learn how to plant something.  That is the first thing.  We should treat all things as spirit.  Realize that we are one family.  It’s never something that could end.

It’s like life.  There is no end to life.

“And blessed are they who shall seek to bring forth my Zion at that day, for they shall have the gift and the power of the Holy Ghost; and if they endure unto the end they shall be lifted up at the last day, and shall be saved in the everlasting kingdom of the Lamb; and whoso shall publish peace, yea, tidings of great joy, how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be.”   1 Ne. 13: 37

Now, you’re going to need water!  
Sure Water Storage Tanks is the best way to store water.

We believe that your first line of defense in case of an emergency is drinking water. All the freeze dried and dehydrated food in the world is of no value without potable water.

Sure Water, LCC is a primarily an online business. They operate this way in order to keep their prices as low as possible.  You may have seen their  products in selected retail outlets across the country and sold on other web-sites.

We have put Sure Water Tanks in all of our families homes. Water storage and water purification are the most essential parts of any food storage plan. Yet, these issues receive little attention when compared with their importance.

Coping With Disasters

.During the past 20 years, the U.S. has sustained 44 weather-related disasters in which overall damages with costs reached or exceeded $1 billion!  More than 11,000 people lost their lives and Thirty-eight of these disasters occurred between 1988 to 1999, seven occurring in 1998 alone—the most for any year on record.

To help keep yourself and your loved ones safe, TheFamily.com provides you with this information you need to be prepared in times of disaster.

DISASTER CHECK LIST

When facing the prospect of any type of natural disaster, make sure you have the following disaster supplies on hand:

• FLASHLIGHT AND EXTRA BATTERIES

• PORTABLE, BATTERY-OPERATED RADIO AND EXTRA BATTERIES

• FIRST AID KIT AND FIRST AID MANUAL

• NON-PERISHABLE FOOD AND WATER

• NONELECTRIC CAN OPENER

• ESSENTIAL MEDICINES OR PRESCRIPTIONS

• CASH AND CREDIT CARDS

• DURABLE SHOES AND APPROPRIATE CHANGE OF CLOTHING

• BLANKETS, BEDDING, OR SLEEPING BAGS

HURRICANE SAFETY – Before A Hurricane Hits:

1. Evacuation: Plan an evacuation route. Contact the local emergency management office or American Red Cross chapter, and ask for the community hurricane preparedness plan. This plan should include information on the safest evacuation routes and nearby shelters. Learn safe routes inland. Be ready to drive 20 to 50 miles inland to locate a safe place.

2. Family Preparedness: Make sure that all family members know how to respond after a hurricane. Teach family members how and when to turn off gas, electricity, and water. Teach children how and when to call 9-1-1, police, or fire department and which radio station to tune to for emergency information.

3. Pets: Make arrangements for pets.

4. Protect Your Windows: Permanent shutters are the best protection. A lower-cost approach is to put up plywood panels. Use 1/2 inch plywood—marine plywood is best—cut to fit each window. Remember to mark which board fits which window. Pre-drill holes every 18 inches for screws. Do this long before the storm.

5. Clear Debris: Trim back dead or weak branches from trees.

6. Consider Flood Insurance: Check into flood insurance. You can find out about the National Flood Insurance Program through your local insurance agent or emergency management office. There is normally a 30-day waiting period before a new policy becomes effective. Homeowners’ policies do not cover damage from the flooding that accompanies a hurricane.

7. Communication Plan: In case family members are separated from one another during a disaster (a real possibility during the day when adults are at work and children are at school), have a plan for getting back together. Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the “family contact.” After a disaster, it’s often easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone in the family knows the name, address, and phone number of the contact person.

When A Hurricane Hits:

1. Status: A hurricane watch is issued when there is a threat of hurricane conditions within 24-36 hours. A hurricane warning is issued when hurricane conditions (winds of 74 miles per hour or greater, or dangerously high water and rough seas) are expected in 24 hours or less.

2. During A Hurricane Watch or Warning:

   1. Listen to a battery-operated radio or television for official hurricane reports.

   2. Check emergency supplies. Fuel your car.

   3. Bring in lawn furniture, toys, and garden tools, and anchor objects that cannot be brought inside.

   4. Secure buildings by closing and boarding up windows. Remove outside antennas.

   5. Turn refrigerator and freezer to coldest settings. Open only when absolutely necessary and close doors quickly.

   6. Store drinking water in clean bathtubs, jugs, bottles, and gather some cooking utensils.

   7. Store valuables and personal papers in a waterproof container on the highest level of your home.

   8. If officials indicate evacuation is necessary, secure your home by unplugging appliances, turning off electricity and the main water valve, and locking up your home. Then leave as soon as possible. Avoid flooded roads and watch for washed-out bridges.

TORNADO SAFETY

Tornadoes are the most violent atmospheric phenomenon on the planet. Winds of 200-300 mph can occur with the most powerful tornadoes. When a tornado warning has been issued for your area or whenever a tornado hits, do the following:

In A Home Or Small Building: Go to the basement (if available) or to an interior room on the lowest floor, such as a closet or bathroom. Wrap yourself in overcoats or blankets to protect yourself from flying debris.

In A School, Hospital, Factory, Or Shopping Center: Go to interior rooms and halls on the lowest floor. Stay away from glass enclosed places or areas with wide-span roofs such as auditoriums and warehouses. Crouch down and cover your head.

In A High-Rise Building: Go to interior small rooms or halls. Stay away from exterior walls or glassy areas.

In Cars Or Mobile Homes ABANDON THEM IMMEDIATELY!!! Most deaths occur in cars and mobile homes. If you are in either of those locations, leave them and go to a substantial structure or designated tornado shelter.

FLOOD SAFETY

According to FEMA, flash floods and floods are the #1 weather-related killer with nearly 140 deaths recorded in the U.S each year. If there is the possibility of a flood in your area, do the following:

When Inside: If ordered to evacuate or if rising water is threatening, leave immediately and get to higher ground.

If Caught Outdoors:

• Go to higher ground immediately! Avoid small rivers or streams, low spots, canyons, dry riverbeds, etc.

• Do not try to walk through flowing water that is more than ankle deep.

• Do not allow children to play around streams, drainage ditches or viaducts, storm drains, or other flooded areas.

• IF IN A VEHICLE: DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED AREAS!Even shallow water should be avoided. The majority of deaths due to flash flooding involve people driving through flooded areas. Water only one foot deep can displace 1500 lbs! Two feet of water can easily carry most automobiles.

POST-DISASTER RED FLAGS

The damage caused by natural disasters such as fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and blizzards can often bring out the best in people, as strangers reach out to help others in need. Unfortunately, the aftermath of a crisis also brings out persons who take advantage of those who have already been victimized. Some of the most common “after-disaster” scams involve home repairs, clean-up efforts, heating and cooling equipment, and flood-damaged cars. The Better Business Bureau has the following advice for consumers:

• Check with your insurance company about policy coverage and specific filing requirements the company may have.

• Although you may be anxious to get things back to normal, avoid acting in haste. Don’t be pressured into signing a long-term contract. Make temporary repairs if necessary.

• For major permanent repairs, take time to shop around for contractors, get competitive bids, check out references, and get a report from the BBB.

• Be wary of door-to-door workers who claim your home is unsafe. If you are concerned about possible structural damage in your home, have an engineer, architect, or building official inspect it.

• Prepare a written agreement with anyone you hire. It should delineate the work to be done, the materials to be used, and the price breakdown for both labor and materials. Review it carefully before signing. Never pay for all repairs in advance, and don’t pay cash.

DISASTER APPEALS

• Examine your options instead of giving to the first charity from which you receive an appeal. There will be a variety of relief efforts responding to the diverse needs of disaster victims.

• Be wary of appeals that are long on emotion but short on what the charity will do to address the specific disaster.

• Ask how much of your gift would be used for the disaster mentioned in the appeal, and how much would go towards administrative and fund raising costs.

• Find out what the charity intends to do with any excess contributions remaining after the victims’ needs are addressed.

• Remember there will be opportunities to give in the future. The problems caused by disasters don’t disappear after the headlines do.

• Complaints: Consumers who feel they may have been victimized can file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau to try to recover their money and to warn others about the individual or company.

  “I tell you these things because of your prayers; wherefore, treasure up wisdom in your bosoms, lest the wickedness of men reveal these things unto you by their wickedness, in a manner which shall speak in your ears with a voice louder than that which shall shake the earth; but if ye are prepared ye shall not fear.”  D&C 38: 30

Happy tears from heaven as rain fills our streams.
Showers and baths, that help keep us clean.
Water for drinking’s where good health begins
Baptized in water will even wash away sins.

Each time you wash or just walk past the sink,
Don’t forget that your body…needs a big drink.
Water helps sickness…but no one will tell,
And doctors don’t say much…cause it makes you well.

Water is free so the cost is just right,
Drinking eight glasses all day and into the night
You’ll feel much better…what stories you’ll tell
Health issues disappear and you will be well.

It’s a big secret…so don’t say a word
Unless you love others then tell the unheard
Water is the answer to help you endure
Some even call it…the water cure!
