Emergency Preparedness Week: Are You Ready?

We all know something unexpected will happen at some point. It could be a major storm, a power outage, or another emergency that disrupts daily life.

That’s why Emergency Preparedness Week is such an important reminder.

Local officials are encouraging residents to take simple steps now so they’re not caught off guard later.

That includes building an emergency kit, having a plan in place with family members, and knowing where to find reliable information during a crisis.

The goal isn’t to scare people. It’s about being ready so you can respond calmly and effectively when something does happen.
