Are you prepared for a disaster?Recent local and global events should not be ignored. We have been witness to earthquakes, tornadoes and flooding, all within our region. Throughout the world, deadly events continue to remind us of the importance of becoming more aware and better prepared. Regardless of the event, disasters share commonalities, such as increased need for resources, decreased availability of services, economic burden, loss of property and loss of life. As public safety providers, we know first hand that disasters strike when they are least expected and we must remain in a state of readiness. Community preparedness is essential to our emergency planning, so we are taking the initiative to encourage individual and family disaster planning and preparedness within our community. We are the leaders in this area and as such, the West County EMS & Fire Protection District has developed a program to assist you with your disaster preparation and offer guidance to help you remain prepared.
