Would you say that you have an emergency preparedness mindset? The answer to that question could make a huge difference in the event of an emergency. In fact, Sheriff KC Clark credited the preparedness mindset of the people in Navajo County for a successful response to a recent storm in Arizona. The White Mountain Independent reports:
“The people of Navajo County are some of the most well-prepared in the state for emergencies,” said Clark, a 22-year veteran of the Navajo County Sheriff’s Office. Attributing the response to a “culture of preparedness” in the County, Sheriff Clark pointed out that in spite of blizzard-like conditions and heavy snowfall, the Sheriff’s Office received only a small number of calls for assistance.
“The Sheriff’s Office was on the ground throughout the county with Sheriff’s deputies, auxiliary volunteers and local police and fire departments ready to respond to emergencies. In the vast majority of cases, local residents were well-prepared for the storm and its aftermath.”
Let it be said of you and your family after an emergency that you were “well-prepared.” You may reap the rewards of a family and home that’s healthy during and after the emergency. You may also be just what your neighbor needs in a time of crisis.
