Prepping 101       ~      Practical Emergency Preparedness

 

2 Hours          10 Student Max          Level: Beginner to Intermediate          Price: $25

 

This class covers the mind-set, principles, and details of how to prepare for unexpected modern emergencies and disruptions. We examine Red Cross and FEMA guidelines, current tips & tricks as well as things our great grandparents did as a matter of course for no stress preparedness.

Learn simple, low cost strategies for self-reliance and peace of mind. Being prepared doesn’t have to be stressful or break the bank, and it doesn’t involve zombies and bunkers.
