September is National Preparedness Month!
Have you and your family put together an emergency plan?  If not, now is
a great time to do it!  FEMA's website https://www.ready.gov/plan has lots of
great info on how to build you plan.  Some key elements include:

• ​Receiving emergency alerts and information (see the link to Nixle below)
• Where and how to shelter during the emergency
• Knowing evacuation routes
• Having a family/household communications plan (not just cell phones!)
• Building/maintaining an emergency kit

When building your plan, it's important to customize your plan to YOU!  Consider
the ages of the people in your plan, responsibilities for helping others, any dietary
requirements, medical needs including prescriptions, and pets!

October is Fire Safety Month!
Stay tuned for tips on fire safety!
