⚠️ The first step in emergency preparedness is knowing what you're preparing for.

As a local health department, we know that emergencies don't always look the same.

Our communities can experience severe weather, power outages, extreme temperatures, flooding, fires and other emergencies.

Take a few minutes today to think about:

➡️ What emergencies are most likely to affect your household?
➡️ Where would you go if you had to leave your home?
➡️ What would your family need if the power went out?
➡️ Who in your household may need extra assistance?
Once you know your risks, you can make a plan.
