Kentucky residents get a chance to help improve emergency disaster services
Monday, January 25th, 2010
Nothing can be more annoying than sitting down to relax and hearing the phone ring. If the phone call is from your best friend to see how you are, that’s not so bad. But if the person on the other end of the line is a stranger asking you personal questions, one’s blood pressure can instantly rise. However, residents of Madison County, Kentucky (and surrounding counties) are going to all have their phones ring on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 in an event planned by the county Emergency Management Agency/Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program.
A Madison County EMA/CSEPP public information officer will be calling homes to conduct a survey about how well the residents know about the EMA/CSEPP’s services and how to access them should a disaster strike. The Richmond Register states the survey, which was conducted 5-years-ago, will help raise awareness about how the county can help its residents and see how much they know about emergency preparedness. The information gathered in the survey, which should only take a few minutes, will also help the EMA/CSEPP build upon their outreach and educational efforts.
For more information about this survey, call the Madison County EMA/CSEPP office at 624-4787.
