Public encouraged to plan ahead during Emergency Preparedness Week
The City of Vernon is advising residents to take steps to protect and prepare themselves for emergency situations.
May 5 -11 is Emergency Preparedness Week, and this year’s theme is Be Prepared. Know your Risks.
“In times of crisis, being prepared determines our resiliency,” Mayor Victor Cumming said.
“By knowing the risks and having plans in place, we can ensure that when faced with an emergency, we are not just reacting, we are protecting what matters most—our people, our homes and our community.”
