Preparedness is for the whole household, paws included!

For National Preparedness Month, take a few minutes to check your emergency kit. Along with basics like water, flashlights, first aid supplies, and nonperishable food, remember that every household’s kit may look a little different.

Think about the things you and your household rely on every day:
- Medications and medical supplies
- Pet food, water, leashes, and medications
- Flashlights, batteries, and portable chargers
- First aid and hygiene supplies
- Food and water
- Copies of important documents
- Items for individual access or functional needs

And don’t forget your pets! Having their supplies ready ahead of time means one less thing to worry about when you need to act quickly.

Already have a kit? Give it a check! Replace expired items, update medications, and make sure it still meets your household’s needs.
A little preparation today can make things much easier when the unexpected happens.

What’s your plan if an emergency happens and your family isn’t together?

During a disaster, power, water, phone service, transportation, and other services may be disrupted. First responders may also be handling multiple emergencies at once. Having a plan before something happens can help everyone in your household know what to do, where to go, and how to reconnect.

For National Preparedness Month, take a few minutes to create or update your household emergency plan.

Make sure your plan includes:
• Everyone in your household and any functional or access needs
• Important places, including work, school, and daycare
• A plan for your pets
• Meeting places in case you become separated
• Important emergency and utility phone numbers
• An out-of-town contact everyone knows how to reach
• Any medications, medical needs, or other important information

Don’t rely on memory when an emergency happens. Write it down, share it with everyone in your household, and keep a copy somewhere easy to access.

Ready to make your plan? The KnoWhat2Do Emergency Plan tool walks you through the process and helps you create a pocket-size plan for you and your loved ones:

Could you or someone you know need extra assistance during an emergency?

The State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR) is a free, voluntary program that helps Emergency Management and local responders better understand the needs of residents who may require additional assistance during an emergency or disaster.

STEAR may be helpful for residents who:

- Have a disability or limited mobility
- Are medically fragile or need additional medical assistance
- Have communication barriers
- Require personal care assistance
- May need transportation assistance during an emergency

Registration is free.

- Register online: https://stear.tdem.texas.gov/
- Register by phone: Call 2-1-1 and select Option 4.

Registration does not guarantee a specific service during an emergency. Residents should continue to make emergency plans based on their individual needs.

If STEAR could benefit you, a family member, friend, or neighbor, take a few minutes to register today and help us build a more prepared Lewisville.

September is National Preparedness Month!

Emergencies and disasters don’t always come with much warning. Taking a few steps now can make a big difference in how you, your family, and your community respond when the unexpected happens.

Throughout September, Lewisville Emergency Management will be sharing practical tips, resources, and local preparedness events to help you get ready before disaster strikes. We’ll focus on simple steps you can take at home, like building an emergency kit, knowing how to receive emergency alerts, creating a family emergency plan, and other ways to help you and your loved ones be ready.

Preparedness isn’t about being ready for everything. It’s about knowing what to do, having a plan, and taking steps now so you’re ready to act when it matters most.

When individuals, families, and neighborhoods prepare together, we help build a stronger, safer, and more resilient Lewisville.

This year, FEMA’s National Preparedness Month theme is “Americans Stand Ready,” encouraging communities across the country to take an active role in preparing for emergencies.

So, Lewisville: are you ready? Follow along throughout September and take steps to become !

Preparedness starts with you.

Atmos Energy crews and contractors will be in several areas of Lewisville performing safety surveys of their natural gas distribution system using mobile leak detection units.

* The blue areas will take place on Sunday night, Sept. 6 - early morning hours of Tuesday, Sept. 8

* The orange areas will be assessed on Tuesday night, Sept. 8 -early morning hours of Thursday, Sept. 10

For more information on how to detect a natural gas leak visit https://www.atmosenergy.com/safety/recognizing-leak/

Mobile leak detection units are white SUV’s with flashing lights and are labeled with an Atmos Energy logo or “Utility Contractor.” The unit will be driving slowly in the street and alley at night, which ensures an accurate survey of the gas system.

As part of this routine maintenance, if a natural gas leak is discovered, crews will investigate and grade the leak. If a Grade 1 (hazardous leak) is found, immediate action will be taken to eliminate the hazard. Grade 2 and 3 leaks are monitored and scheduled for repair based on state and federal guidelines.

Map description: The map shows Atmos Energy mobile leak detection survey areas in Lewisville for the week of Sept. 6–12. The survey area covers portions of western and central Lewisville, extending east from the Flower Mound boundary. Garden Ridge Boulevard is near the southern edge of the mapped area, with neighborhoods extending north from there. Survey zones are color-coded orange in the western portion and blue across most of the central and eastern portions. North is at the top of the map.
