Preparedness

Be Smart About Safety
You can’t predict the next disaster, but now you can plan ahead. Sign up at Smart911 and create your own safety profile to give emergency management officials valuable information about yourself, family members, your home and even pets prior to an emergency. This information will help officials plan for and respond to you during a natural disaster, weather related incident, or other emergency. It's private and secure and you control what information is in your profile. These details can save valuable seconds or even minutes during an emergency. Seconds count when

• There's a weather emergency.
• You are forced to evacuate.
• Power is knocked out.
