Chapter 31 - Disaster Prep

As soon as I go upstairs I pass out right away. Steve has the doctor stop in and check on everyone after a few hours of sleep. He does tell Steve that I have to be woke up to eat then I can go back to sleep.

While I am sleeping Steve, the elders, and his parents gather in the dining room to discuss what we now know.

Elder Anderson starts the conversation."Okay so we all say it, we all heard it now what are we going to do about it? Micheal can you tell us about the clinic side first? Then we will move to everything else"

"First since the Luna told me to get prepped I have been getting everything I can get set up and collected. I have managed to get 2000 cases of each medications I can collect. I also got the extra machines, beds, and other specialty equipment she told me to get. I also have 300 cases of formula for everything from preemie to lactose intolerant babies just to be sure. We also have 500 cases of each bandages, bandaids, and everything along those lines I also have 300 cases of water. I also have 200 cases of water and fruit juice. As well as 200 cases of every kind of soup and stew you can think of. I also have the blankets and canning supplies the Luna has sent over."

"I think we should get Cassie in here. Both her and the Luna have been working on the food side of the prep."

"Good idea mom I'll grab her. While I'm up anyone want water or soda?"

Steve goes to the kitchen to get Cassie and the drinks. He has Cassie grab the notebooks with all the information in them then they go back out to the rest of the group. Steve hands out the drinks and tells Cassie to explain what they have so far.

"Okay everyone as you know the Luna and I have been doing canning project on ANF off over the last two months. We have four months to go before the storm hits. So what we have done is divide everything between this pack house the clinic and the pack house the Luna built two weeks ago. Now the total numbers so far are as follows. 315 cases of various jams and jellies. 510 cases various fruits. 510 cases various veggies. 627 cases of various meats. 710 cases various soups and stews. And finally 545 cases of various trail mix and other snacks.

We have also 500 cases of tuna. 300 cases of other soups and stews. And 400 cases of other canned meats. And 700 cases of canned fruits.

There is also 300 cases of water. 300 cases of fruit drinks. 300 cases of various sodas. And 200 cases each of coffee and tea. And since we have several new mothers the Luna has gotten 675 cases of formula and 550 cases of the powdered milk.We also have a total of nine freezers fully stocked with meat. The Luna really has tried to think of everything."

"Mom what have you and the sewing circle been able to do?"

"Okay first of all the Luna has started out the collection with 40 tubs of blankets. There are a total of 519 crocheted blankets of various sizes. 467 various sized quilts. And 294 of what the Luna calls no sew blankets of various sizes. Now the sewing circle has completed another 544 no sew blankets. The Luna has made another 54 crocheted blankets of various sizes. And we have made another 324 quilts of various sizes."

"No I will admit I have not had a chance to get more supplies like I did when we first went out but we did get 500 lanterns. 300 of the heavy duty flashlights. 200 cases of candles. 200 cases of all sizes of batteries. We also got 12 generators. We also got 200 walkie talkies for communication. Then there are the 400 sleeping bags. And these are the ones made for the mountains. We also got a total of 300 sets of thermals in all sizes. We also got 300 of those all weather jackets that are good in rain and snow in all sizes. 200 cases of thermal socks in all sizes. And we also. We got 300 pairs of snow boots in all sizes. And I don't know the exact numbers but Kayla got hundreds of books, color books, crayons, paints, basically a bunch of stuff to keep people entertained. Since then she has been really focused on the canning so we haven't done another shopping run. But I believe we need to."

"She is right we have a good start but we need to have at least double what we have now. The new pack houses can hold a lot of people. perhaps we can get everyone to move into them a week before the storm hits. It will help with travel between the buildings. So I think we need to get the pipes,the water, and the electricity going in all the new buildings so we can prep faster. I hear the Luna put herself on a form of bed rest is that correct?"

"Yes before the canning party started yesterday she saw two of the six from the class had issues. We are not sure if it was the weight they would be moving or the length of time on their feet but whatever the cause Kayla decided to sit out so they would see it as all pregnant women had to. In order to protect the baby."

"She is a good Luna. Always trying to protect the pack. So now we need to help her do the same. So Cassie besides you who else knows how to do the canning."

"By the end of the day all four women were very go at it. We only had five jars that did not set. But that's not anyone's fault it just happens."

"Okay Alpha then you need to get your construction team to finish those pack houses so we can get a huge canning party going. Second you and the Luna need to go out and do some major shopping. She has put far to much time and effort into Trying to save this pack so let's not let her down."

"The elder makes some very good points son I say we get things moving as soon as possible so all the work our Luna has put in doesn't go to waste."

"I agree we will get it done and we won't Loose anyone."
