Tornadoes in Kansas... wildfires in the southeast… three catastrophic floods in New Hampshire within a year. How communities prepare for emergencies before they occur can help to prevent loss and speed recovery after a disaster.

 Lakes Region Partnership for Public Health is teaming up with officials from your community, local fire and police departments, town officials, and healthcare representatives to prepare for a regional emergency now, before it occurs!

In concert with regional emergency planning, LRPPH is coordinating personal emergency awareness and preparedness events for Lakes Region residents to enhance their own awareness and personal safety. Through various programs, such as the Community Emergency Response Program, Lakes Region Community Emergency Response Team (LR-CERT) and other (events), LRPPH strives to increase Lakes Region residents' personal emergency awareness and preparedness.
