Emergency Preparedness/CERT
During a major emergency, police and fire assistance may not be readily available. The city will be busy providing life or death assistance and repairing major infrastructure damage. It will be the responsibility of each family to prepare and take care of their family first, then assist their neighbor.
The City has organized a Draper City Emergency Preparedness Committee to look at long-range planning and preparedness. We also ask our Draper citizens to be prepared to take care of their families and neighbors, and assist the community during an emergency. Here are some of the things we want you to consider:
