MADISON, Wis. (WTAQ) - Do you know what to do in case of an emergency? A fire? A dangerous storm?
The experts say you should remember three simple things: Get a kit, make a plan, and be informed. That’s the advice from Tod Pritchard of ReadyWisconsin.
For starters, he advises families to establish a meeting place or a contact person in case family members get separated during a crisis. Also, Pritchard says, be sure to have an emergency kit with necessary supplies, including medications and plenty of water.
He recalls examples of how flooding and contamination led to water shortages. Preparedness tips and facts are available by visiting Wisconsin Emergency Management or ReadyWisconsin on line. September is Wisconsin Preparedness Month.
