One of the key messages of National Preparedness Month is to be
prepared in the event an emergency causes you to be self-reliant for
three days without the following: utilities and electricity, water
service, access to a supermarket or local services, or maybe even
without response from police, fire or rescue.
Preparing can start with four
important steps:
-
Be informed about
emergencies that could happen in your community, and identify
sources of information in your community that will be helpful
before, during and after and emergency.
-
Make a plan for
what to do in an emergency.
-
Build an emergency
supply kit.
-
Get involved.

Emergencies can happen anytime and anywhere without notice. This
is why we encourage our community to be better prepared and invite
community members to join us in the effort.
