The Town of Creston is proud to announce the launch of a brand-new website dedicated to community safety and preparedness: Emergency Management Creston (EMC). This initiative underscores the town’s commitment to ensuring the well-being of all residents by providing comprehensive information and resources for handling emergencies.
At EMC, the focus is on proactive planning and swift response in our community. The website serves as a centralized hub where residents can stay informed about various hazards that could impact the area. By understanding the hazards and risks, the community can better prepare and protect themselves and their families.
Key Features of the EMC Website:
Emergency Alerts and Updates: Stay up to date with the latest information on emergencies, including real-time alerts and official guidance on how to stay safe.
Preparedness Resources: Learn about the potential hazards in Creston, from natural disasters like wildfires and floods to public health emergencies. The site offers practical tips on how to prepare for these events, including creating emergency kits and developing emergency plans.
Response Coordination: In the event of an emergency, EMC coordinates with local authorities, first responders, and community organizations to ensure a rapid and effective response. The website will provide details on emergency shelters, communications, and other critical resources.
A Word from EMC:
“At Emergency Management Creston, our top priority is the safety and well-being of our community,” said Asha DeLisle, Emergency Management and Climate Readiness Coordinator. “Understanding the potential hazards that could impact our area is a key part of being prepared. We are committed to ensuring that when emergencies arise, our response is rapid, effective, and informed.”
The launch of this website marks a significant step forward in Creston’s ongoing efforts to enhance public safety and resilience. Residents are encouraged to visit the website regularly to stay informed and be prepared for any potential emergencies.
