Join us for this engaging conversation with Matt from the Vermont Department of Health as we discuss:

What type of events are you most concerned about in your community? Why?

Have you been affected by these events in past? And did you have advance warning? What did that look like? If so, what were the consequences?

What can you do to be prepared? What other potential hazards are out there?

3 Types of personal response:

1. Evacuate

2. Escape

3. Stay home (hunker down)

Examples of events when those responses would be appropriate:

Role of planning:

1. Have a plan and know what supplies you’d need

2. What is a go bag?

3. Keeping it simple

4. Who do you share plan with?

5. Practice plan
