Emergency Management doesn’t start when an emergency happens, it starts long before. 👀

As we continue celebrating National Emergency Management Awareness Month, we’re taking you behind the scenes to show what happens between the big moments: the planning, coordination, training, and preparation that help Grand Rapids stay ready. 🏙️🤝

➡️ Swipe through to see a closer look at the work happening behind the scenes to help prepare our community for whatever comes next.

Because readiness doesn’t happen by accident. It happens every day. 💪
