Emergency Preparedness

Now that we are beginning to enter the winter season, below are helpful links to prepare you and your family in the event of a natural disaster.  The below links will provide guidance on essential items for different types of preparedness kits.  With so many 6th District constituents who commute considerable distances to work, you may need to be prepared for a variety of circumstances.  I encourage you to view and share this information with family and neighbors to ensure our community's safety, in the event of an emergency.
