Safety Tips During Severe Weather

While the path of Irene will not be pinpointed until late Friday, I have included a link directly to NOAA hurricane awareness. I do encourage everyone to take a few minutes to view the site. Please pay close attention to the disaster prevention plans listed below. For those of you in the eastern Baltimore County, and lower Anne Arundel Counties, I should not need to remind you about Isabel.



1) developing a family plan


2) disaster preparedness kit


3) having a place to go


4) securing your home


5) having a pet plan




Know when evacuate…and do not wait until the last minute. Emergency Service Crews will be extremely busy. Please note that the Maryland Emergency Management and the local jurisdictions will pull emergency crews off the road if they feel the conditions are too dangerous to emergency personnel. DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN A POSITION WHERE NO HELP WILL COME TO YOU IF YOU NEED IT. PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE….AND BE SAFE. For other natural disasters, please visit http://www.fema.gov/
