Cavalier County Emergency Management

A hazard study done in Cavalier County found that we are most vulnerable to the following;

Winter Storms, Summer Storms,Hazardous Materials Incidents, Floods, Fires, both urban and rural, and Drought . I’m sure this comes as no surprise to any of us.

As humans, we naturally think that nothing bad can happen to us, and we always will hope this to be true! No one wants a disaster to happen, but they can and do.

SO LETS BE PREPARED!

That’s what emergency management is all about and why, as Cavalier County Citizens we should prepare.

On this website, you’ll be provided with links to ideas and sites that are all about preparedness. For private citizens, there are links to all kinds of information. With ideas about winter and summer preparedness kits. How to survive on your own for the first 72 hours following a disaster. What to have in your disaster plan? What does shelter in place mean? What should you pack up to take in a hurry? How big of a generator do you need? What about pets, what do they need?

There are also links to business continuity planning. What happens to that Rolodex full of hot contacts when a fire or tornado destroys your place of business? Do you back up your data? Know a safe spot to keep your backups if you do?

These are all things that are well worth taking the time to plan out, so that you can think, when and if a disaster strikes, about the one important thing, saving lives.

For Emergency Services this site will contain training links and information on upcoming local training. Links to information that you can use to do the jobs that you have volunteered to do. We thank you for that!

Please read on, investigate the site, make comments about what you’d like to see here! Links to preparedness sites are on the left!
