Remember the Emergency Evacuation Awareness Drill on
Thursday December 5th!
What to do: At 10 am text all of your family members and check in
Future preparation: Think about what you would do if this were a true emergency and you were being asked to evacuate.
- Where would you meet?
- Who would you call?
- What would you take?
This is a good opportunity to have these discussions!
