Disaster Recovery

What to do if a storm or other emergency event threatens our area:


  • Please keep up with local news TV and radio news outlets for the latest information.
  • Make sure you and your family have enough supplies to survive.
  • Check your disaster supplies annually for expiration dates and missing supplies.
  • Have cash on hand in case power is out, but stores are open.
  • Watch for boiled water alerts. Have bottled water on hand.
  • Fill your tank with gas in case of ration shortages.
  • If you need to evacuate, leave early – do not delay.
  • Do not drive if roads are un-passable.
