| The recent terrorist attacks
against the United States have left each one of us asking the question,
"How can our families and our community better prepare in the
case of an emergency?"
The City of St. Charles' Emergency Preparedness Guide will help
businesses, residents and their families to be better prepared for
all types of emergencies ranging from a tornado to a bioterrorism
event. It offers advice on how to make an emergency
plan, put together a preparedness
kit, and gives basic information on what to do before, during
and after any public emergency.
Although we cannot always prevent emergencies, there are many things
we can do to be better prepared as individuals, families and as
a community. I ask that all St. Charles residents take a moment
and read this guide. I also encourage you to assist others, such
as senior citizens and others in need, to help them be better prepared
for an emergency. I hope you find this Emergency Preparedness Guide
helpful. |
