New Year – New Resolution.
Weekly test for the Santa Barbara County Operational Area. The OEM remains at Duty Officer status.
We’re six days into 2014 and it’s not too late to make your New Year’s Resolution! Why not make a resolution to ensure you and your loved ones are better prepared for an emergency?
Having a family communication plan is the first step to ensuring you and your family are prepared for an emergency. It’s also a great way to talk to your kids about emergency preparedness and incorporating them in getting prepared.
So this year, make a family communication plan that answers – who to call, where to meet and what to pack. That’s it, a basic family communication plan that answers those three questions. Simple enough, right?
Keeping our New Year’s Resolutions can be tough, but making these plans to ensure you and your family members are prepared is simple and can make all the difference in an emergency.
Happy New Year!
