Special Community Event Preparedness
Security and planning for emergency response at mass gatherings and special events is a continuing concern as the potential for major emergencies with significant consequence is a real threat. OEM and partner response agencies are responsible for the development of strategies to prevent and minimize the possible disaster impact and to ensure effective response to emergencies. Please vist our Special Event Preparedness Page for further information.
Individual and Family Disaster Preparedness
A community emergency management program is only as good as the preparedness of its citizens. Make emergency preparedness a priority for you and your family. There are a number of simple actions that you and your family can take to better prepare for a potential emergency:
1. Make a family communications and emergency plan.
2. Build an emergency preparedness kit.
3. Get trained in basic first aid and CPR.
4. Volunteer to assist in time of disaster.
