"We
encourage Church members worldwide to prepare
for adversity in life by having a basic supply
of food and water and some money in savings.
"We ask that
you be wise as you store food and water and
build your savings. Do not go to extremes; it is
not prudent, for example, to go into debt to
establish your food storage all at once. With
careful planning, you can, over time, establish
a home storage supply and a financial reserve."
—The First Presidency
