Preparedness
Some events such as hurricanes, winter storms or tornadoes can’t be prevented. Taking steps to be prepared for such events can lessen the impact of such an event so fewer resources are required.
Emergency Preparedness begins at home. Individuals and families can prepare for emergencies in a number of ways:
- Learn about hazards in our area
- Have a 72 hour preparedness kit
- Know what to do if there is an evacuation
- Use our Bee Ready Suggestions
REMO Preparedness activities include activities such as:
- Monitoring emergency situations and weather warnings
- Analyzing hazards that could affect our area
- Developing plans and procedures for specific events
- Supporting First Responders and Emergency Support Partners
- Developing contact lists and resource databases for emergency response
- Providing education materials for the public
- Warning the public of potential events
