Event Description:

Are you ready for an emergency?

Many individuals believe they are prepared for disasters, but often are not as prepared as they think. In addition, some admit they do not plan to prepare at all.

National Preparedness month gives citizens a chance to learn more about ways to prepare for all types of emergencies. Emergency preparedness is the responsibility of every person. We can take a few simple steps - creating a disaster supply kit, making a family disaster plan and staying informed about the different types of emergencies and their appropriate responses, and get involved.

National Preparedness Month serves as a good reminder that we all have a responsibility in protecting ourselves, our families and our communities. It is recommended that everyone have enough emergency supplies on hand to sustain themselves for at least 72 hours following an emergency.

Join us for a discussion on Emergency Preparedness at the library on Tuesday October 10th at 6:30pm.
