Community Preparedness

2/1/2021 (Permalink)

With severe weather in Arkansas right around the corner, it is never too early to prepare your community for emergencies and disasters of all types, “Disasters happen” and that can devastate individuals, neighborhoods, and businesses.

Learn how to be prepared. Here are some questions to ask yourself:

• Do you have an evacuation and shelter-in-place plan?
• Do you have a plan to communicate with your family before, during and after an incident?
• Do you have an emergency supply kit?
• Do you or someone in your family know CPR?
• Could you turn off your natural gas if necessary?
• Do you know how to take cover in an earthquake?

Knowing the answers to the questions above can help your community to be better prepared if there is a disaster.

Make sure your employees and family members are informed and practiced in your emergency plan and be sure to sign up for alerts and warnings for your area, and download other necessary apps to stay informed, such as the FEMA app. If your business has a disaster and you need any questions asked call us anytime at 501-328-3301.
