Emergency Preparedness
The Hopkinsville Fire Department would like the citizens of Hopkinsville and the surrounding communities to be informed and take action. Educating and preparing yourself before a disaster helps you to be self-sustaining during an actual emergency, which in turn helps our emergency services to attend to other emergencies that may be occurring.
Educate yourself of the type of emergencies and natural disasters that could occur in our region.
Make an Emergency Supply Kit with food and water: http://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/1390846764394-dc08e309debe561d866b05ac84daf1ee/checklist_2014.pdf
National Preparedness Month
September is recognized as National Preparedness Month (NPM) which serves as a reminder that we all must take action to prepare, now and throughout the year, for the types of emergencies that could affect us where we live, work, and also where we visit.
