This statement works contrary to Step 4 of the Church's "Stake and Ward Emergency Planning Guide" as found in Provident Living: https://www.lds.org/bc/content/shared/c ... f?lang=eng.To un-subscribe from future email messages from ward or stake members follow https://lds.org/directory click on "My Family" then click on "Edit Profile" and remove your email address from your profile. If you are not a head of household you may ask your parent/guardian to edit your profile or you may also contact your ward clerk and ask him to remove your email address from MLS.
That Planning Guide encourages the availability of email addresses in the event of emergencies. The lds.org Directory "Help for Ward members" describes Profile options that are available. The "Unsubscribe" statement at the end of email messages discourages the availability of email addresses for emergency planning purposes. I suggest that it is unnecessary to add "fuel to the fire" by including the "Unsubscribe" statement at the end of email messages.
