WELFARE AND SELF-RELIANCE RESOURCES – (WSRR) One Page Overviews.
This is the most valuable link I have found. I have gleaned and aggregated most of the hot links below by topic and have given the page number, from the Self-Reliance Resource Guide, where the links were found. Some of the links are Trail Heads that lead to a deeper dive into associated links on that topic. All are good, some rise to another level, like the Area Temporal Preparedness Guide or Life Help Resources.
The Sleep When The Wind Blows website is not a Church of Jesus Christ sponsored or endorsed website in any way. If the following is your first exposure to the material, I hope you will find it helpful. If it resonates with you, you would like to add to it or would like to participate in some of the classes or activities mentioned here, you are absolutely welcome. Once this site is fully operational, I will provide a link for me to answer any questions you might have or include your suggestions in future materials and resources. We are all on this path together.
