Disaster Supply Kit Information
After a disaster, local officials and relief workers will be on the scene, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. You could get help in hours, or it may take days. Basic services, such as electricity, gas, water, and telephones, may be cut off, or you may have to evacuate at a moment’s notice. You probably won’t have time to shop or search for the supplies you’ll need. Your family will cope best by preparing for disaster before it strikes. routes, Storm Hazards, Staying Connected
To help with flooding, the county dumps sand at the Cordesville Fire Department and provides sandbags prior to storms. Residents must fill them.
