Hats off to the Howard County League of Women Voters for thinking ahead and helping our communities to be prepared.
Update: 10/7/09 - I was the sole representation of Savage at this very important discussion last evening regarding emergency preparations for our neighborhood in the event of a natural or man made emergency. I was very impressed with the collaboration between departments and plan to gather more information to share with my neighbors.
Please ask yourself, what am I doing to prepare my family and my neighborhood for an emergency. It is the responsibility of community associations to coordinate these types of forums to provide this information to citizens and it is the responsibility of citizens to prepare.
