Give Thanks and Be Prepared!


Tomorrow many of us will gather with friends and family around the dinner table and give thanks for all that we have.  The family at the Chester County Department of Emergency Services wants to give thanks to those that can’t be with us at the dinner table because they are serving to protect us overseas and domestically or they made the ultimate sacrifice.  This includes everyone in our uniformed family – Military, Police, Firefighters, Emergency Medical Services personnel, and those working in the basement of the Government Services Center – our telecommunicators.  We’d also like to suggest a dinner time conversation – how prepared are you for an emergency?

You can visit http://www.readyregion.org/ to get more information on how best to prepare for emergencies.  This website includes everything from how to prepare an emergency kit to how to sign-up for free to receive text message alerts.  It includes information on how to prepare to evacuate and how to prepare to shelter-in-place.  It even includes information on how to prepare your pets and your business!

Happy Thanksgiving and be safe!
