I remember going into the Oakland temple, to do baptisms for the dead, when I was still a member. I wish I could get a picture of the grand white room, with the golden bulls holding up the baptismal fonts. It is a pretty interesting place to visit.
Baptizing the dead is for those people who had died with out hearing the word of God from the church. It's so they can choose to accept it in the afterlife, and advance to a higher kingdom of heaven.

Oh, this is a good plan.

Yes, they are indeed. My parents have a large storage of food and water. My Mom helped me with some stuff for my own 72 hour kit, and always sends me news, and tips about doing so. My Aunt had a big bomb shelter in her basement filled with supplies, enough to last years.
