Learn to Prepare For Emergency Situations

Both this week’s storm — including the aftermath of widespread power outages, school closings and blocked roads — and the recent Hurricane Irene underscore the need to be prepared for emergency situations beyond our control.

To make sure residents are ready in the future, members of the Bernardsville Police Department and local Office of Emergency Management will give guidance and share information on how to prepare ahead for an emergency. The free program will be offered at the Bernardsville Public Library at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 18.

The speakers's discussion will include information on items that should be in a family emergency kit. They will also provide guidelines for preparing a family emergency plan.  Local emergency planning efforts will be discussed and additional resources regarding emergency planning will be provided. 

There is no charge to attend the program, but advance sign-up is requested.  Register online and follow the link under Adult Programs, or call the library at 908-766-0118 to sign up.
