LCDPH is working with
the community to provide the resources you may need in an emergency. How can you prepare your family for an emergency?
Preparing for Action
Your family should prepare for a disaster at
anytime. Whether it be a natural disaster, disease related, or an event of
terrorism you should have a plan. To get tips and more information on what
steps your family should take to prepare for an emergency link to
www.prepare.org,
a website brought
to you by the American Red Cross and other community-based organizations to
help you and your family prepare for natural and human-caused disasters.
The site also addresses the needs of pets, the elderly, and those with
special needs.
Update your Knowledge
Keep yourself and your family informed on health
issues affecting your community. The Livingston County Department of Public
Health works to protect the safety of the community and can provide
information valuable in case of an incident. Know where you can find
information and keep a list of local emergency phone numbers. Being
