Dec. 15 Dexter Dover Area Towns in Transition workshop to teach importance of being prepared
DEXTER — At 10 a.m. Saturday morning, Dec. 15 at the Abbott Memorial Library, Dexter Dover Area Towns in Transition (DDATT) will host a workshop with Felix Blinn from Brownville on “being prepared” — how to take practical steps to prepare for likely disruptive events in a hopeful instead of fearful manner.
Recent trends in economics, politics, weather, food production, and transportation can combine in an observant person’s mind to create worry about the possibilities of system breakdowns; what will we do if we can’t get to the grocery store for instance, or it hasn’t got any food on the shelves, or the electricity goes out for an extended period?
While we don’t want to dwell excessively on such dire thoughts, having a plan in place will ease those worries and smooth those disruptions. Blinn is an example of such thoughtful preparation, and will be sharing his strategies and experiences, and hoping to learn about other peoples’ at this free workshop in Dexter.
DDATT’s mission is to help move our local communities into higher levels of self-governance, knowledge of local resources, and independence from external energy imports. The more we share what we know, the stronger we’ll be.
