A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING 2007 AS A YEAR TO GET READY AND SEPTEMBER AS GET READY MONTH
Whereas, a survey conducted by the American Red Cross in 2006 found that the majority of Americans have not taken even the basic steps needed to prepare for a disaster or an emergency
situation; and
Whereas, disaster can strike quickly and without warning and being prepared is crucial to saving lives at home, in school, at work and in the community; and
Whereas, the best way to be prepared for a house fire, tornado, or other disaster is for individuals and families to have an emergency plan; and
Whereas, a disaster kit with enough supplies for each family member for at least seven days can help your family in a winter storm, pandemic flu, or other disaster when access to supplies
might become limited; and
Whereas, children and adults trained in CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), First Aid and CPR save lives and make our communities safer; and
Whereas, The Twin Cities Area Chapter of the American Red Cross through its Community Challenge has offered to assist our community to prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies.
Now, Therefore, the City of Falcon Heights, does hereby proclaim 2007 a Year to GET READY! and call upon local residents to Get a Plan, Get a Kit, and Get Involved to help save lives
in our community, and does hereby proclaim September as the “Get Ready” month in Falcon Heights.
