Press Release – Do you have a plan? Are you prepared? September is National Preparedness Month and the Public Health Preparedness office of the Brownwood/Brown County Health Department encourages the citizens of Brownwood and Brown County to take the time to create or review their emergency preparedness plan. The 2017 National Preparedness Month theme is “Disasters Don’t Plan Ahead. YOU CAN.”
To celebrate, and bring awareness to this important month, the Public Health Preparedness Office is conducting an Emergency Preparedness Seminar at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, September 12th, at the Brownwood Central Fire Station, 600 E. Adams Street. Citizens are encouraged to attend this important meeting and hear presentations designed to help them be ready for everything from the smallest inconvenience to a county-wide disaster. Speakers will include representatives from public health preparedness, emergency management, CERT, Red Cross, and the Salvation Army.
Additionally, follow the Brownwood/Brown County Emergency Management Facebook page for preparedness tips and other important and useful information.
As always, the PHP staff at the Brownwood/Brown County Health Department is willing to visit with citizens and assist them in the emergency preparedness planning process. The PHP office can be contacted at 325-643-3793 Monday through Friday or at phpstaff@brownwoodtexas.gov.
