Be Informed - Make a Plan - Build a Kit - Get Involved

As a proactive measure in response to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) recent public service announcement, we are committed to fostering a culture of preparedness among our residents.

Here, you'll find valuable resources, essential information, and collaborative opportunities aimed at empowering every member of our community to safeguard themselves and their loved ones in times of need. Join us in fortifying our city's strength and preparedness.

Personal Preparedness

'It is everyone's role to be prepared for disasters. Whether you are thinking about yourself, your family, or your community. And we all have different needs to consider when preparing. For people with disabilities, now is always the best time to prepare so you are ready when a disaster happens." - Sherman Gillums (Director, Office of Disability Integration and Coordination)
