Homeland Security Live Alert
This New Year's Eve, nearly 50 percent of Americans made at least one resolution looking
toward 2009. Holden Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), Worcester Medical Reserve
Corps (MRC) and Central MA Disaster Animal Response Team (CMDART) wants to encourage our
community to make preparing for an emergency a resolution that is both important and easy
to keep.
Now's the Time. Resolve to Be Ready for the rest of 2009. It just takes three steps:
1. Get an emergency supply kit.
2. Make a family emergency plan.
3. Be informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur in your area and their appropriate responses.
To help everyone take these steps to get prepared, Holden CERT, MRC, and CMDART are proud
to be sponsoring and organizing an Emergency Preparedness Open House on February 19, 5:00
pm at the Holden Senior Center (1130 Main St) .
and business for all types of emergencies including natural and man-made disasters. The
Web site offers free downloadable resources, including family emergency plan templates
and sample business continuity plans and provides you with tools to make a New Year's
resolution that will bring you and your loved ones peace of mind. Wishing you a happy
and safe New Year, and remember, now's the time. Resolve to Be Ready in 2009.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Evanoff
Team Coordinator - Holden CERT
