Discussing Emergencies: Key to Family Preparedness

Staff Report / Binghamtonlocal.org

The Broome County Office of Emergency Services in Binghamton, New York, emphasizes the importance of discussing potential disasters or emergencies with your family. Starting these conversations can help you and your loved ones take steps to prepare and stay safe.

Tips for starting a conversation include setting aside a calm and relaxed time, discussing preparedness steps over a set period to avoid rushing decisions, and encouraging questions about how to prepare. By taking simple actions at your own pace, you can build your preparedness.

Remember, talking about these topics can lead to valuable discussions and actions that could make a difference in staying safe during emergencies. National Preparedness Month serves as a reminder to take steps to prepare with your family. #BCOES #EmergencyServices #BeSafeBeReadyBeBroome.
