The Board of Health will sponsor a presentation on Family & Personal Preparedness on February 27, 2013 from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Senior Center, 9 School Street, lower level.
The presentation will explain the basic information residents should know to prepare themselves and their families in the event of a natural or man-made emergency.
Topics and handouts will include:
Items you should have on hand to "shelter in place"
Items you should have in an emergency "to go kit"
Important phone numbers to call
Volunteer opportunities
All residents are welcome and urged to attend this informative session!
Please call the Board of Health office at 508-695-3010 Ext. 16 or Ext. 30 to register so that we may plan for refreshments and hand outs.
Walks ins are also welcome!
I like it, hopefully gets a few folks thinking about being prepared.
As a noob I started with prepping for 2-3 days (e.g. blizzard, hurricane). I no longer have to fight it out in the bread aisle at Stop and Shop and gas pump the day before. Currently I think I could last a month, questionable in the winter though so need to do some work there. Basically need a wood burning stove.
More studying and practice this year on various topics to extend my survival time. Overwhelmed with the thought of having "to go" as my focus has been "shelter in place"
