General Emergency Preparedness - ONLINE MEETING!

Is it self-sufficiency, sustainability, or emergency preparedness? This is the second in a series of meetings that will discuss topics on the practicalities of a lifestyle without our customary conveniences. ONLINE VIA ZOOM!

GENERAL EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS is the second topic, that will be hosted by TimeBank Boulder's Events Coordinator, Jan DeCourtney. Jan will lead the discussion sharing what she knows. We will share where we are in this, what we know about it, and how we can help each other.

Here are some things we can talk about:

Why are we doing this now?
What kinds of emergencies might happen?
How can you prepare to flee or to shelter in place?
What things do you need to do or buy?
How can you keep feeling optimistic and happy in the midst of this?

Future meetings will include these topics:

1. Grid Disruptions: Water, Electric, Gas, Garbage, Health Care
2. Financial Disruptions: What might happen, how can you prepare
3. Methods of Food Preservation: Canning, Dehydration, Freezing
4. Grow/Raise/Forage Your Own Food: For condos, apartment, city dwellers
5. Waste Not, Want Not: Share your best tips for reuse, repurpose, recycle

Meetings will include some time for the sharing of offers and requests, the heart of TimeBanking.

During a crisis, including a pandemic, community is very important and we encourage all TimeBank Boulder members to attend.

We invite people interested in joining TimeBank Boulder to attend up to 2 of the meetings in this series to see if TimeBanking might be a fit for you. After 2 meetings, we will guide you towards the process of joining our organization. For more information, visit our websites at http://www.timebankboulder.org and http://www.hourworld.org.
