Don’t Miss Chance to Win Emergency Preparedness Kit

/

Are You Ready? For the past four weeks, we’ve asked you to better prepare yourself and your family for a disaster with four simple tasks: make a plan, build a kit, be informed and get involved.

If you haven’t taken any of the steps, there’s still time to check at least one off the list and enter the drawing for a deluxe emergency preparedness kit, which includes a two-person tent, two sleeping bags, radio, first aid kit and more. Preparedness is especially critical with dangerous fire conditions here in our county and major wildfires in other parts of the state.

To enter the drawing, you’ll need to complete one or more of the actions below, and then submit your entry online by Aug. 7. Five winners will be selected at random.

  • Make a Plan: Complete a family disaster plan.

  • Build a Kit: Your preparedness “go kit” should be organized and ready to grab during an emergency such as an earthquake or wildfire. The kit should be sufficient to sustain you, your family and your pets for a minimum of 72 hours.

  • Be Informed: Register your cellphone number for AlertSanDiego.Download the SD Emergency app.Bookmark the County’s emergency website.And follow the County on Twitter.

  • Get Involved: There are countless ways to get involved. You could find your office’s emergency exits, review your office’s Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP), join the County’s Advanced Recovery Initiative to help during a disaster or volunteer with CERT.
