Emergency Preparedness
Emergency preparedness increases knowledge and reduces risks in the event of an unforeseen event; emergency preparedness is everyone's responsibility.
Some individuals may not have the support or capacity to deal with emergencies. Reach out to family, friends and neighbours who may be vulnerable or unable to support themselves during an emergency.
The first 72 hours are the most critical in any emergency situation.
The Town of Pelham's 72-Hour Emergency Guide provides guidance to better prepare for different kinds of emergencies impacting residents.
The guide was developed to help you, your family, friends, and neighbours be prepared in the event of an emergency.
We know that disasters can strike anywhere and at any time.
Please take a moment to review this guide with your family, friends, and neighbours.
If you prefer to have a printed copy, please visit Pelham Town Hall, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
