Emergency Preparedness

Green Mountain Emergency Preparedness Guide

We recommend that you make use of the Green Mountain Emergency Preparedness Guide, provided by the State of Vermont. This is an excellent guide to planning ahead and staying safe during an emergency. For the most benefit, you should print it and fill out the worksheet sections so you’ll have everything handy during a crisis.
