What changes in a community when emergency management is present?
It can change how a community sees its risks. It can create relationships before they're needed, give people a chance to practice before they're tested and make it easier to adjust when things don't go according to plan.
Over time, those efforts can help a community become more prepared, more connected and better able to navigate whatever comes its way. It means more people are ready to contribute, more organizations know how to work together and communities have a stronger foundation when challenges arise.

Use sidewalks whenever possible; if there are none, walk facing traffic. When you cross the street look left, right, and left again before crossing. Always wear properly fitted and buckled helmets when riding a bike or scooter to school. STAY ALERT: Do not use phones, text, or wear headphones while walking near traffic or crossing streets. These tips can help prevent accidents and keep our children and parents safe.
