What’s the Plan, Stan? (or Stacy or Michael or José…)
It’s fun to plan holidays, birthdays and barbecues. But no one looks forward to planning for disaster. The truth is that a little preparation could protect your life and the lives of those around you. So pencil in some time for emergency preparedness planning.
The City of Garland, along with its sister cities in North Central Texas, has developed a planning tool that will help you walk through building your emergency plan. It will take you step-by-step through the process and will end with a plan that you can print out and put in your disaster kit. Click here to start creating your plan.
