Are you ready?

There are many natural or man-made potential threats and

hazards to Montgomery County including the usual severe
storms, floods or extreme heat and the unusual earthquake or
chemical spill.

Storm Camp is a free half day interactive educational event for
adults and children designed to help you answer the question
above with a resounding yes, no matter the threat. Storm Camp
will show you how to:
- build a Home Disaster Kit
- safely operate a fire extinguisher
- respond to common life threatening medical emergencies
- organize your neighborhood and workplace to be ready
- prepare your home and loved ones for emergencies large and small

Kids 4-10 will enjoy a special program of fun and learning that will turn ordinary
youngsters into Ready Pirates equipped with age appropriate emergency skills.

Storm Camp was developed by the Montgomery County Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT), which is part of the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue
Services Division of Volunteer Services, and is taught by FEMA certified
instructors that include active and retired EMTs and Firefighters.

Our Next Storm Camp is Saturday September 13, 2014
There is no charge but registration is recommended.
