How can Jehovah help us during an emergency?
We have to have a good friendship with Jehovah and we have to trust him, if we pray to him in times of an emergency we may remember passages from the bible that help us calm down and move on.

Well, we can't expect him to intervene miraculously, but if we pray to him in difficult times, his holy spirit can make us remember passages from the Bible that help us calm down and make good decisions.
Because there the words of Isaiah 30:15 are fulfilled, that strength will depend on us staying calm and showing trust and in this case in Jehovah God and although we do not expect him to intervene miraculously but if we pray to Jehovah his holy spirit. Well, he will help us remember passages that help us calm down and give us wisdom to make good decisions.
What can we do to be prepared?
We can have an emergency backpack, which has a first aid kit, bottles of water, canned food, basic items. We must also agree on a place to meet in case of an emergency.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
First to strengthen ourselves spiritually, it is also important that we have an emergency backpack, it would be good to keep in it, a first aid kit, bottled water and non-perishable food, a bible and other basic items. In addition, we must ensure that the elderly have our updated contact information.
And one important thing that is also mentioned is that during family worship night we go over the types of disasters that can happen, because riots or attacks can happen anywhere and without warning, so you can talk about where meet or how to get in touch with the elderly.
We are advised to have a backpack ready for when difficulties arise this backpack can contain a first aid kit bottled water and non-perishable or canned food it can also be masks some money and the Bible.
And something that we are advised that apart from having a backpack with essential utensils we could also store in our house in larger proportions the same elements but in greater quantity in case the situation gets more difficult and they are scarce.
Also, what is recommended to us is that we have updated data, this means that the elderly have our updated telephone numbers so that they can locate us quickly and take advantage of family worship to talk about possible disasters that may occur in the area and how can we react
How can we help others?
Group overseers help by making sure all siblings are in a safe place in case of an emergency. Maybe there are brothers who need a place to stay for a while, and we can help them.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
For example, something important that is mentioned is that if we are well prepared, we will allow those who need it most to receive more attention and it is even possible that we can help others in our congregation and the surroundings even if we have been affected, because in some cases maybe there are brothers who need a place to stay for a while and maybe we can open the doors of our home to them or maybe we can share basic supplies with those who need it.
And if the emergency occurs in another place, maybe we can volunteer for relief work, and of course we can fill out an application to be volunteers, also something we can do is pray a lot for our brothers.
One of the things that was emphasized in the video is that if we want to help others first we should be well prepared so we can act quickly and we cannot be a burden and we can even help other brothers in the congregation. But this happens of course if we do our part and prepare in advance.
And if we are prepared in some cases, then there will be times when the brothers need a place to stay for a while and if possible we can even share our food to basic services or we can also be of help to repair your home when it is safe to do so. .
And if we are not in the place where natural disasters have occurred, then we can always do something, I will follow the requirements to make ourselves available or we can also do it through our voluntary donations.
