Family Preparedness Plan


Get PREPared!  ---  Make a Plan

Disaster can strike quickly and without warning. It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services--water, gas, electricity or telephones--were cut off? Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away. Therefore, the best way to make your family and your home safer is to be prepared before disaster strikes.

 Important monthly tip:

 

Although our weather has been unseasonably warm this past winter and spring is very near, remember... Remain

prepared in the event of unexpected snowfall or power outage. If you

have a generator, run it monthly. Keep emergency supplies in your car

trunk until the chance of snow is well past. Remember, if you need

help during a heavy snowfall or long term power outage, please call -

PREP at 945-PREP for assistance.

 


Volunteer one day a month.
