PREPAREDNESS Guide – June 17, 2013 How lucky are we? We have managed to escape the major brunt of storms passing overhead but have received some beneficial rain! We’ve had an excellent opportunity this year to prepare ourselves for whatever that famous Kansas weather pattern might blow our way. It has been said many times:”Prepare for the worse, hope for the best.” Now we are in the final phase. Beginning today, and for the next two weeks, we will be visiting Cowley County communities to give an emergency preparedness presentation and to provide citizens, especially those out of the hearing range of sirens, with severe weather radios. A quick review of the requirements as per FEMA and State of Kansas: *You must be 18 years of age and older *One radio per household *Must be a resident of Cowley County *Must bring photo ID and proof of residency If you want to make sure the clock on the radio stays set as we program it for you, it would be helpful for you to also bring along 3 AA batteries (not included) for backup. The complete presentation schedule is listed below. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Cowley County Emergency Management office. If you already have a severe weather radio but would like programming/use instructions, please bring it with you to the meeting. June 17 @ 7 PM - Cambridge Presbyterian Church June 18 @ 6:30 PM – Atlanta Fire Station June 19 @ 6:30 PM – Udall City Bldg June 20 @ 7 PM- Burden City Hall June 24 @ 6:30 PM – Tisdale Methodist Church June 25 @ 7 PM – Dexter Community Bldg June 26 @ 6:30 PM – Winfield Chamber of Commerce June 27 @ 7 PM – South Central Kansas Medical Center July 1 @ 6:30 PM – Parkerfield Community Bldg If you have any questions regarding emergency response, please do not hesitate to contact our office. As always, if you have questions at any time, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Cowley County Emergency Management team via email or by calling 620/221-0470 or 620/441-4569. We hope you will find this list beneficial and will also encourage your family members and friends to join us on Facebook or cowleycounty.org/EM for this and other helpful hints. 20 Weeks and other postings are found under EM News.
