Emergency preparedness - in case of fire

September is the month to focus on emergency preparedness - these tips may help.

From Emory Kidd, Director
Metcalfe County Emergency Management


If you need to bug out in a hurry, such as in a fire, you will be grabbing what is important.

What is most important?

One mnemonic is the five Ps - People, Pets, Pills, Papers and Pictures.

Do you have those items handy?



For pictures - a family project might be scanning in all of the important ones and saving them on a flash drive and/or in cloud storage and keeping that flash drive in your firesafe box.
