🚨 AUGUST IS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT MONTH! 🚨
When you hear Emergency Management, you might think about tornadoes, floods, wildfires, or other disasters.
But Emergency Management is about much more than responding when something goes wrong.
Throughout August, Bourbon County Emergency Management will highlight the 4 Phases of Emergency Management:
🛡️ MITIGATION — Reducing risks before disaster strikes
📋 PREPAREDNESS — Planning, training & getting ready
🚨 RESPONSE — Taking action when an emergency happens
🏠 RECOVERY — Helping our community rebuild and move forward
Each phase plays an important role in keeping Bourbon County safer and more resilient.
📅 Follow along each week as we take a closer look at what each phase means, what happens behind the scenes, and how YOU can be part of a more prepared community.
Because Emergency Management doesn't start when the sirens sound — it starts long before the storm.
