Emergency Preparedness Month

9/3/2021

0 Comments

 
Being ready for an emergency includes staying informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses, developing a family emergency plan, building an emergency supply kit, and getting involved in your community by taking action to prepare for emergencies.

In July, the City of Cedar Rapids Iowa Government rolled out an emergency preparedness initiative called “Neighborhood P.A.C.T.” P.A.C.T. is an acronym for Prepare, Act, Communicate, and Train. When a major disaster occurs, you may need to survive on your own for several days. It is important to have a disaster supply kit with a three-day supply of food and water, flashlight, first aid kit, and other essentials. Disaster planning also involves developing a plan for your family if there is a fire or severe weather. Communication is also important and there are opportunities for text alerts from CRNewsNow.com, tuning into AM 600 or FM 96.5, or receiving alerts through an All Hazards NOAA Weather Radio. Training is a great way to help your community so neighbors can share information and resources. More information about the Neighborhood P.A.C.T. initiative is available at CityofCR.com/PACT.

Each month, there will be an emergency preparedness topic available on CityofCR.com/PACT. September’s emergency preparedness topic features actionable steps to take in the event of a power outage.
