1) PREPAREDNESS IN SEPTEMBER 2022
Week Four: During this “PREPAREDNESS Month”, we encourage you to make an Emergency Plan, and execute that plan with a drill/exercise for yourself and your family. We need people to get supplies in order prior to an event. People need to have drills to test themselves and their equipment. They must also build trust and a strong working relationship with public safety prior to an event. Remember, if you fail to plan, you’ve planned to fail.
If you’re not currently a Hendricks County ARES member, and you would like to help us during an emergency/disaster, please get in touch with ARES AEC Kenny Kayler, KC9SQD, at 317-874-7068, or e-mail: kayayler64@hotmail.com.
