We know how to keep our loved ones safe when things go wrong, but do you have what you need to stay safe and comfortable until help arrives? You may think building a well-stocked emergency kit is difficult or expensive, but it doesn’t need to be. You can gather supplies over time, starting with items you may already have at home like canned food and first aid supplies. Visit ready.gov/kit for a list of items to include and how to tailor your kit to meet your family’s needs. This weekend is a great time to start!

Another important tool for you and your family is the RAVE Alert program. Tailored to us locally, you can get alerts with critical information like severe weather, missing persons, or even unexpected road closures. You pick where you want to get your alerts - home, work, email, cell. Crook County Emergency Management has more info and an easy way to set it up, just visit their page at https://www.crookcounty.wy.gov/departments/emergency_management/index.php and stay alert and ready!

When people in recovery share their stories, they help create recovery-ready communities for everyone. It's a great opportunity to reduce the stigma around the disease of addiction.
