emergency Preparedness<br />
Are You and Your Family Prepared for Emergencies?<br />
<strong>Frederick</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s emergency-preparedness partners encourage you to take the steps outlined below to ensure that you,<br />
your family and workplace are ready to prevent and respond to an emergency.<br />
Get Informed:<br />
n Monitor changing weather and road conditions, and know when travel is unsafe.<br />
n Read local newspapers and tune in to regional TV and radio news.<br />
n Watch for official emergency messages communicated through the Emergency Alert System on WFMD 930 AM,<br />
WFRE 99.9 FM, WAFY KEY 103.1 FM, <strong>Frederick</strong> <strong>County</strong> Government Cable Channel 19 and <strong>Frederick</strong> City Cable<br />
Channel 99.<br />
Make a Plan:<br />
n Develop an emergency plan and discuss it with your family.<br />
n Decide how you will find out if family members are safe and let them know you are okay.<br />
n Plan alternative ways to communicate with family members and others in the event that routine communications are<br />
disrupted.<br />
n Plan for the possibility that you may need to leave your home: Know what you will need to take with you, steps to<br />
secure your home before you leave and where you might go.<br />
Build a Kit:<br />
n Prepare a supply kit that will sustain you and your family for three days.<br />
n Include the essentials: water, food, important documents and personal identification, warm clothing, blankets,<br />
flashlight and radio with batteries, and medications.<br />
n As you plan for your family, develop a plan and kit for your pet(s) as well.<br />
Get Involved:<br />
n Remember: Emergencies don’t seem as devastating when you have a support system.<br />
n Get to know your residential and business neighbors, the people in your school and community groups, faith-based<br />
congregation members and the parents of your child’s friends.<br />
n Volunteer your time and services to organizations in <strong>Frederick</strong> <strong>County</strong> — at schools, with fire/rescue units, at the<br />
hospital, through the Red Cross, organized blood drives and more.<br />
