Personal Preparedness

In the event of an emergency, the City of Cottage Grove asks that its citizens be prepared should emergency services be unable to help immediately. Attached below is the PDF for FEMA's book "Are You Ready", which has a lot of information on personal preparedness.

Shown above and linked here are the City's Emergency Preparedness Videos, which will continue to be updated in the coming years.

Here are some things you should look into.
