Get Ready! National Preparedness Month
 |
| September is National Preparedness Month, and the
Chambersburg Fire Department wants you and your family to Get Ready in case of an emergency. Ten years ago, the National Fire Protection Agency recognized a need for families across the country to be prepared during a natural or manmade disaster. A campaign titled Get Ready! was started and has continued every year since. Get Ready! offers many valuable resources for communities to be better prepared if a disaster happens. Please find helpful links listed below that direct you to information on safety tips, communication plans (highly recommend filling out), and what to do in an emergency. • Chambersburg Fire Department Prevention Page http://www.chambersburgfire.com/www.chambersburgfire.com/manager/templates/prevention.html • FEMA Family Communication Plan for Kids http://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/a260e5fb242216dc62ae380946806677/FEMA_plan_child_508_071513.pdf • FEMA Family Communication Plan for Parents http://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/0e3ef555f66e22ab832e284f826c2e9e/FEMA_plan_parent_508_071513.pdf • NFPA Fact Sheets and Handouts in English and Spanish http://www.nfpa.org/safety-information/for-public-educators/community-tool-kits/preparing-your-community-for-a-disaster |
