"If ye are prepared ye shall not fear."

"From the stand point of food production, storage, handling, and the Lord's counsel, wheat should have high priority. Water, of course, is essential. Other basics could include honey or sugar, legumes, milk products or substitutes, and salt or it's equivalent. The revelation to store food may be as essential to our temporal salvation today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah."
(President Ezra Taft Benson; October General Conference, 1973)

"If we are to be saved in an ark, as Noah and his family were, it will be because we build it. My faith does not lead me to think the Lord will provide us with roast pigs, bread already buttered, etc., He will give us the ability to raise the grain, to obtain the fruits of the earth, to make habitations, to produce a few boards to make a box, and when harvest comes, give us the grain, it is for us to preserve it--to save the wheat until we have one, two, five, or seven years' provisions on hand, until there is enough of the staff of life saved by the people to make bread themselves and those who will come here seeking safety...the fulfillment of that prophecy is yet in the future."
(Marion G. Romney; April General Conference, 1976)

"I believe it is time, and perhaps with some urgency, to review the counsel we have received in dealing with our personal and family preparedness. We want to be found with enough oil in our lamps sufficient to endure to the end...As long as I can remember, we have been taught to prepare for the future and to obtain a year's supply of necessities. i would guess that the years of plenty have almost universally caused us to set aside this counsel. I believe the time to disregard this counsel is over. With events in the world today, it must be considered with all seriousness."
(L. Tom Perry; October General Conference, 1995)

"I am suggesting that the time has come to get our houses in order."
(President Godon B. Hinckley; October General Conference, 1998)
