RESOLUTION NO. 2007-9 <br />City of Hugo <br />Official Proclamation <br />Declaring the City of Hugo a partner with the American Red Cross in the "Get <br />Ready Campaign' <br />Whereas, a survey conducted by the American Red Cross in 2006 found that the <br />majority of Americans have not taken even the basic steps needed to prepare for a <br />disaster or an emergency situation; and <br />Whereas, disaster can strike quickly and without warning and being prepared is crucial <br />to saving lives at home, in school, at work and in the community; and <br />Whereas, the best way to be prepared for a house fire, tornado, or other disaster is for <br />individuals and families to have an emergency plan; and <br />Whereas, a disaster kit with enough supplies for each family member for three days can <br />help your family in a winter storm, pandemic flu, or other disaster when access to <br />supplies might become limited; and <br />Whereas, children and adults trained in First Aid and CPR save lives and make our <br />communities safer; and <br />Whereas, The Twin Cities Area Chapter of the American Red Cross through its <br />Community Challenge has offered to assist our community to prevent, prepare for and <br />respond to emergencies. <br />Now, Therefore, I Fran Miron, Mayor of the City of Hugo, do hereby proclaim 2007 <br />the Year to GET READY! And call upon local resident to Get a Plan, Get a Kit, and <br />Get Involved to help save lives in our community. <br />ADOPTED by the City Council this 19* day of March 2007 <br />1 <br />ayo <br />ATTEST: <br />Mary A6treager, City Clerk <br />
