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 Prepared - A Family and Community Emergency Preparedness Guide is a family/community reference guide prepared by the Livingston County Department of Public Health.
