Message from the Sheriff:
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office is proud of the steps we have taken to be prepared for any type of emergency or disaster, natural or manmade. With news of severe weather taking a devastating toll on citizens, I want to encourage all residents to be prepared. While local law enforcement are first responders and are there for residents should an emergency occur, local citizens can do their part. The keys to being prepared include 1.) being informed, 2.) making a plan, and 3.) making a kit.
Please take a moment to review the questions below. If an emergency and or disaster should occur…..
· Do you have a family plan?
· Do you know the emergency plan for work and/or school?
· Do you have disaster supply kit in your home?
· Is your home equipped with the appropriate safety devices?
· Do you have a meeting place outside your home if you must evacuate?
· Are family records and documents protected in a safe place?
· Do you have contacts and/or family members to stay with in other areas?
· Do you know the numbers of local authorities and emergency services?
If you answered "no" to any of the above questions, please take some time to sit down and review the Sheriff's Emergency Preparedness Guide with your family. Keep it in a safe place and refer to it if an occasion arises when you might need to implement your family action plan. Taking these few small steps could make a startling difference when faced with a crisis situation.
