Emergency ManagementThe big scare of an H1N1 Pandemic Flu (Swine Flu) has passed with minimal impact to our community. Cases of H1N1 were found within our city. Fortunately, the outcome was far different than was expected by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Health Department. Minimizing our community impact was due, in part, to the community's willingness to get immunized and the taking of some basic precautions. Well Done!
Earthquakes still loom on the horizon. The world has witnessed death and destruction as nature has unleashed its fury. Utah is earthquake country. Preparedess is key to improving chances of survival. The time is NOW to prepare. Get your family a kit and a plan. The 72 hour kit is ideal for a beginning. I encourage those that do have kits to increase the supplies to last 144 hours. The following link will be helpful in preparing a family. bereadyutah.gov/ Tremonton citizens are volunteering time to become members of the Citizen Emergency Response Team (CERT). This team is a group of volunteers that can be called to assist city employees during and after a disaster. These dedicated volunteers have participated in a 25 hour training course that helps them understand how they can help their neighbors until additional help arrives. The CERT team is currently being reorganized and will be participating in bimonthly training sessions to hone and update their skills. More volunteers are needed. For information on the CERT program click here. This website contains an on-line training course that will familiarize you with the CERT program. If you are interested in becoming a member of the team, please contact the Tremonton City office at 257-9500 and leave your name and contact number. We encourage you to start today in becoming prepared. There are many websites available that can assist you.
