Emergency Preparedness Begins with You!
If you are ready, limited resources can be available to others.

Personal Preparedness is a key issue for all residents of Ontario County. Being prepared can mean taking a few simple actions such as:

• Having extra food for the family in a snowstorm
• Having a radio with batteries
• Non-electric phone in a power outage!
• See the CDC and American Red Cross Links

It has been our pleasure, over the past decade, to connect with our communities and to identify people who were willing and able to assist in our Public Health emergency response activities. There are currently about 200 volunteers registered, and we have worked with most of these wonderful volunteers. However, our planning has revealed that to effectively respond to a full scale health emergency, we need over 1,500 registered/prepared volunteers. Please consider joining our Volunteer team!
