Due to the
various potential hazards Plano faces, it is
vital that everyone in the Plano
community take measures to prepare for emergencies and disaster events that
could disrupt our everyday way of life. A good rule of thumb when preparing
plans and developing emergency kits is to be prepared to be self sufficient for
at least 72 hours. Everyone’s situation is unique and we hope that the
information we’ve provided will address the needs of our diverse community.
We’ve
provided information in the navigation menu to the right as a reference to aid
in the development of emergency plans and preparedness activities.
Please use
the guidance that we have provided for you to create and maintain emergency
kits for you and anyone else in your care. We encourage you to share this
information with friends and family. You may also want to read our
Residential Emergency and Disaster Initiative (REDI) Guide.
