Emergency Preparedness: Be Ready for Anything

May 2 begins Emergency Preparedness Week.

Emergency Preparedness: Be Ready for Anything

Staying informed during an emergency is very important.  Emergency officials will often update the situation as new information becomes available.  You can stay informed by listening to local radio stations, local news channels as well as the Town of Deseronto website and social media accounts.  You can follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

A portable battery-operated radio is always something to consider having in your emergency kit.  Having extra batteries is also good idea. 

Alert Ready is a national service that will send crucial and life saving alerts directly to your cell phone.  Alert Ready service only broadcasts from cellular towers and antennas within the area of emergency, so only subscribers within the defined geographic area will receive the alerts.  More information on this great service can be found here.
