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
