TRANSCRIPT
Mat 24:6 "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for {those things} must take place, but {that} is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are {merely} the beginning of birth pangs. Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. - NASB

Health Hazards
Internal Hazard—Damage to the body caused by the inhalation, ingestion or intake of radioactive materials through open wounds. Radioactive materials inside the body can be taken up and made a part of body tissues
External Hazard—Damage to the body caused by prolonged exposure to external radiation. The radiation may be particulate or in the form of rays that penetrate the body
V2.2
Health Risks
Dose is the total amount of radiation received. Dose rate is the length of time of exposure. Health risks depend on the amount of radiation received and the length of time of exposure
Acute Exposure—large exposure over a short time. Symptoms such as skin burns, vomiting and indigestion appear more quickly
Chronic Exposure—small doses over a long time. Symptoms, such as tumors, are delayed
V2.2

What Can We Expect To Happen In A WMD Event In Our Area?
Depending on the type of event, you and your family will experience some form of decontamination.
The general public will be put through a rapid Triage type of decontamination based on their exposure.
Those of you who have taken the time and pains to protect yourselves will experience a much more detailed “Technical Decontamination”.
V2.2
Mass Decontamination
Time constrained
Low-pressure, high-volume water
Saves lives by reducing agent from skin of victims
Also known as emergency, gross, hasty, immediate
Mass Decontaminationwww.sccfd.org

A flu pandemic is an outbreak caused by a new human flu virus that spreads
around the world.
Because the pandemic virus will be a new strain, many people could get very
sick or could die before an effective vaccine is available.
Three flu pandemics happened in the 1900s. Near the end of World War I, the 1918 Flu
Pandemic was the most severe flu pandemic of the century.
It killed about 675,000 people in the United States and between 20 to 50 million people
around the world.
In the current H1N1 Pandemic, CDC estimates 12 million cases, 53,000 hospitalizations, and 2900 deaths.
We have learned from past flu pandemics that during a pandemic, limiting contact among people helps to slow the spread of the virus and
helps to save lives.
Until a vaccine can be made, limiting contact among people will be our
main tool for helping to contain the disease and to prevent others from
getting it.
A new pandemic flu virus will spread easily from person to person, mostly
through coughing and sneezing.
When a sick person coughs or sneezes near you (less than 3 feet away), you can breathe in droplets that have the virus.
The droplets also could land on surfaces you may touch with your hands.
During a flu pandemic, health officials may ask you and your
community to take actions to help limit contact among people.
Your daily routines could change for several months.
Make plans now to be able to stay home for at least 10 days if you are
sick with pandemic flu.
Make a plan for who will take care of you and your household if
you get sick.
In severe flu pandemics, people may be asked to limit contact with others in the community and workplace.
Places where people gather, such as stores, schools, theaters and places of
worship, may be closed.
Get in the habit of washing your hands often and covering your
coughs and sneezes.
These actions can help you stay healthy now. They will also help
protect you and your family during a flu pandemic.
Teach your family the importance of these habits and practice them now:
Wash your hands often with soap and water. If there is no soap and water, use an alcohol-based
hand gel. Wash your hands before eating, drinking, or touching your face.
Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Throw used tissues away in a trash can, and wash your hands. If you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your sleeve and not into your hands.

Rev 8:10 The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters.
The Saddlebag ProjectMat 24:17- 18 "Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak.” NASB
What does“The Saddlebag Project”
plan to teach?In order to be truly “Free” where you live right now, you should evaluate everything you own and do.
When you have developed the plan, mindset, and skills to get free of the materialistic culture that grips our world today, you should, be able to literally walk away from everything and start over.
When you have placed your full dependence on God, you will find the freedom that He intended for His people since the Creation.
Who do you owe?
Our debt to others is the greatest destroyer of Freedom (and families)!
Proverbs 22:7 “The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is the slave of the lender.”
What material thing do you have that you are no longer interested
in….
But are still paying for?
Sell It!
As you pay off your debts, set aside 10% for
yourself, in cash.
Store it in a safe fireproof place where
you can get to it immediately.
Develop a skill or hobby that you can use to earn money if you lost your job.
Learn to grow, raise, or hunt for enough food to feed your family for a year or longer if necessary.
Begin to minimize your dependence on “Stuff” that can capture your time.
Lev 23:34 "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'On the fifteenth of this seventh month is the Feast of Booths for seven days to the LORD.” NASB
When was the last time you went camping?
Lev 23:34 "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'On the fifteenth of this seventh month is the Feast of Booths for seven days to the LORD.” NASB
When was the last time you went camping?
God gave this commandment to His people so that they would remember their trek in the wilderness. What if it was also to prepare them for Jesus’ instructions in Matt. 24?
