Emergency Preparedness
Personal preparedness
All residents should be prepared to be self-sufficient for up to three days in the event of an emergency. Learn how you can prepare for an emergency by building emergency kits.
Improve your personal preparedness by downloading our free Northumberland Emergency Preparedness App. This app includes tips and tools such as:
- A Family Emergency Plan template
- Checklists for building a 72-Hour Emergency Kit, Pet Emergency Kit and Car Survival Kit
- A list of potential local hazards and how to respond to each one
- Information about evacuations and Shelter-in-Place orders
This helpful personal preparedness tool is available in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. Look for our Northumberland Emergency Management Coordinators logo:
