Twenty-five years ago, first responders answered the call at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Many did not return. Campbell County Fiscal Court remembers their sacrifice and honors the fire, rescue, and police personnel who serve our community with that same courage.

Severe weather can develop quickly. Knowing where you will shelter before a tornado or severe wind warning is issued can save valuable time.

The safest place is a basement or small interior room on the lowest level of a sturdy building, away from windows and exterior walls.

Depending on your home or building, that could be a:

โ€ข Basement
โ€ข Interior hallway
โ€ข Interior bathroom
โ€ข Closet
โ€ข Designated storm shelter area

Make sure everyone in your household, including children, knows where to go when severe weather threatens.

As part of National Preparedness Month, take a few minutes to identify your safe place and make sure everyone in your household knows where it is.

Would your family know what to do if an emergency happened today?

Emergencies can happen with little or no warning. Severe storms, tornadoes, flooding, winter weather, power outages and other emergencies can disrupt daily life.

Having a plan can help everyone in your household know what to do and where to go.

Your family emergency plan should include:

โ€ข How you will receive emergency warnings
โ€ข Where you will shelter during severe weather
โ€ข Where you will meet if you become separated
โ€ข How you will communicate if cell service is unavailable
โ€ข Where you will go if you need to evacuate
โ€ข Plans for children, older adults, family members with disabilities and pets

Take 15 minutes to talk with your family and make a plan.

Knowing what to do before an emergency can help you respond quickly when it matters.

Also, download Smart911 to stay informed!

Make sure you receive important alerts wherever you are by downloading the free Smart911 app and turning on notifications.
