                               Be Prepared: Know Before Disaster Strikes

Disasters can happen with little or no warning. Taking a few simple steps now can help keep you, your family, and your community safe. Prepare an emergency kit with essential supplies, medications, food, water, flashlights, and important documents. Have an emergency plan that includes evacuation routes, meeting locations, and a way to communicate with loved ones.

Just as important, know where to find reliable and up-to-date information before, during, and after an emergency. Sign up for local emergency alerts, follow your County's official website and social media pages, and stay informed through trusted emergency services.

Remember: Stay informed, be prepared, and know where to go for help. A little preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow.

“No matter how much the County, Fire Department, Police Department, and the Town of Windsor plan, no matter how much we prepare, our resources will be completely overwhelmed immediately following a major disaster,” Fire Marshal Cyndi Foreman warns.  “We strongly urge everyone to take disaster preparedness seriously, for peace of mind now and in the event of a disaster.”
