Home Guide to Emergency Preparedness

Preparing a Plan for Emergency Events

January 2002

Dear Neighbors:

Recent events have made us all keenly aware of the need to be prepared in case of emergency.

Local governments routinely work together throughout the year to evaluate and update their emergency response plans. Recent events remind us all that home emergency preparedness is a must for everyone and should be carefully planned.

This Home Guide to Emergency Preparedness is designed to help you do just that. It does not cover every conceivable emergency. However, it does offer information and resources to help you plan for most emergency situations. I hope you find it helpful.

Councilmembers Laura Kuettel, Peter Lindstrom, Rick Talbot and Bob Lamb
