Are you prepared for a prolonged power outage or emergency situation?
Emergency preparedness can help increase knowledge and reduce risks in the event of an unforeseen event. Emergency preparedness is everyone's responsibility. Some individuals may not have the support or capacity to deal with emergencies. Reach out to family, friends and neighbours who may be vulnerable or unable to support themselves during an emergency.
The first 72 hours are the most critical in any emergency situation. The Town of Pelham 72-Hour Emergency Guide provides steps to be better prepared for the different kinds of emergencies that can impact residents.
It was developed to help you, your family, friends and neighbours be prepared in the event of an emergency.
Please take a moment to review this guide with your family, friends and neighbours.
