Emergency Preparedness

Make A Plan

You and your family may not be together when an emergency occurs ... planning will help you know where family members are and if they are safe.

  • Know about emergency alerting systems in your area
  • Identify an emergency meeting place
  • Make a communications plan with contact information
  • Practice your plan

Build A Kit

This means food, water and others supplies for 72 hours of self-sufficiency for all members of your family and your pets ... these are basic items that you might need until first responders arrive.
