City of Hugo
Official Proclamation
Declaring the City of Hugo a partner with the American Red Cross in the "Get
Ready Campaign'
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 three 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 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, I Fran Miron, Mayor of the City of Hugo, do hereby proclaim 2007
the Year to GET READY! And call upon local resident to Get a Plan, Get a Kit, and
Get Involved to help save lives in our community.
ADOPTED by the City Council this 19* day of March 2007
