I used the help of my fellow congregation members to retrieve three plastic storage bins that had been in the attic for the past two years. I could organize my latest preparations with those three bins and the one I already had in my bedroom.

I started by organizing the bin in my bedroom, filled with a jumble of stuff. I sorted the items into health and tools categories. Then, I used the other two bins to store pillows, washcloths, socks, and watch caps.

Getting organized might not seem like a preparation, but it is. When you are organized, it becomes much easier to find what you need, and you can see how much you have.
