Can anyone give me some insight on this site: http://preparedness.ldswelfare.org/
It seems to be an officially, unofficial church site... states from "The Provident Living Web Site Team"

Seems like a nice site by some good members of the Church, but I don't see any evidence of it being an official Church site.ebastow wrote:Can anyone give me some insight on this site: http://preparedness.ldswelfare.org/

It's clearly not an official Church site -- it even has a disclaimer specifically stating that it is not an official site.mkmurray wrote:Seems like a nice site by some good members of the Church, but I don't see any evidence of it being an official Church site.
But it is an unusual site, in that it seems to have been started by actual Church employees who work on the official Provident Living site, soliciting input so that in their roles as Church employees they can improve the official site.
I think that's what ebastow was trying to communicate in saying it's an "officially unofficial" site. It's not hosted by the Church and is clearly unofficial, but seems to have a quasi-official purpose.

You are right.. it is clearly stated that it is not a Church Site, but the team appears to be employees... just was wondering if any of the team are in the Tech Formum and could give some enlightenment.

Yes, it does not look like an official site. Although, it does have some nice features on it. However, it is lacking content and doesn't have much on the site pertaining to preparedness - at least not yet. Maybe once the site gets more populated it will get better.
You should check out this alternative in the meantime... this site has a lot of useful information on LDS Emergency Preparedness and LDS Food Storage. The site is: www.ldsemergencyresources.com
