Prepare
Although the health department is planning for public health emergencies
like a pandemic flu it is also important for you to plan and prepare. Your
family's health and well-being may depend on it. You should consider how
you would contact one another during emergencies. It's also a good idea
to keep some essential supplies on hand for emergencies. This could include
drinking water, dry or canned food, a first aid kit, a battery powered radio,
a flashlight and several days of supplies for family members with special
needs.
The following downloadable guides will help you and your family prepare for emergencies. The guides are also available individually or in quantities for your community group by calling (616) 494-5597.
