Resources

Thanks to our great community and the generous grant donations from a number of organizations we have been able to acquire resources that will be much-needed when a disaster strikes in Hancock County.

*Cots and bedding sets (some of which are currently being used in the warming center)

*Three propane-fueled generators

*Four sets of work lights

*Electric heater

*Mobile command center trailer with conference room, food service, bathroom and shower capability

As our operations grow, our needs for general operating expense coverage (insurance, print and electronic media, supplies etc.) also grows. The community has generously responded to a recent appeal for donations to cover these routine expenses. Thank you to everyone that has made a donation to support our efforts.

Materials Available

Our charge during the Prevention and Preparedness phase of the disaster cycle is 1) any action taken to avoid hazards and minimize the negative consequences of a disaster and 2) any activity taken in advance of an emergency that improves emergency readiness posture and develops or expands operational capabilities. In carrying that out we strive to make educational material available to the general public through classes, training and distribution at public events or presentations.

The following list are the most appropriate flyers and brochures we have available at this time. Please contact us if you are interested in receiving any of this or if you have a group we could present to. Most are from FEMA.
