Get Ready Week - Stay safe, stay informed
It's Get Ready Week, the perfect time for all of us to make sure we're prepared for an emergency! This year's theme is Stay Safe, Stay Informed.
Emergencies can happen anywhere, any time, and without warning. Make sure you and the people you care about are ready to get through by knowing the different ways to stay informed.
