Emergency Alerts Can Keep You Safe
Are you signed up? It’s simple to do. PublicAlerts sends information about how to stay safe during an emergency. It messages you by text, email, or voice message. It’s free and available for anyone who lives, works, or visits our area.
And, there is more . . .
· Alerts: Want to know about current local alerts? All here.
· Hazards: With a click you can access clear and comprehensive information about power outages, earthquakes, winter weather, wildfire and smoke, and other hazards.
· Get Ready: Numerous pages describe how to build community, get ready, gather supplies, create plans for children and animals, toileting, evacuation, and more.
· Get Involved: Here are specific ways to make you, your family, friends, and neighbors more secure. Consider volunteering with NET. Your skills will make us more resilient.
In an emergency you can count on NET and NET will count on you. Do you know who your neighborhood NET representative/supporters are?
Help us help you. Join us at our online monthly meetings on the third Wednesday of each month by emailing nancyhiser@comcast.net for an invitation.
Wishing you a safe and happy 2022.
