Dear Citizens, Whether young or old, resident or visitor, each one of us needs to have enough food, water and personal hygiene items to live on our own, if necessary, for a bare minimum of three days. I recommend you prepare for seven days or more. | |
If you are aware of functionally or medically fragile persons in your community, help them with the development of a plan for their safety. Your local Emergency Management Agency is a good point of contact for information. You can find their phone number in your local phone book under government agencies. | |
Much work has been done in the past year to make sheltering provisions for companion animals at evacuation shelters. You are now strongly encouraged to take your pets with you if you evacuate. | |
| |
I urge every citizen to go to the family preparedness section on our web site to learn more about how to prepare for hurricanes and other emergencies. Your safety and the safety of your family may well depend upon the preparations you have made before the disaster occurs. Once the event begins, it is too late to get ready. | |
