Adair Co. Emergency Management participates in KY Preparedness Month Click on headline for complete story with Preparedness Check List From Adair County Emergency Management Adair 911 Center, 107 N High Street, Columbia, KY Gov. Steve Beshear proclaimed September as Preparedness Month in Kentucky. Partnering with Kentucky Emergency Management, Adair County Emergency Management urges all to "BE AWARE - BE PREPARED - HAVE A PLAN." "Kentuckians face threats to their safety and property throughout the year; from tornadoes, flooding, straight line winds, lightning winter storms, man-made hazards, to daily emergencies", said Greg Thomas. Every household and every business should be prepared to face these challenges at any given time." A disaster can occur anytime, anywhere in Kentucky.

"I urge residents of Adair County to be prepared for any emergency or disaster," said Greg Thomas, Adair County Emergency Management Director. "Supplies such as water, non-perishable food, flashlights and batteries, radios and first aid kits are easy to store, and can be lifesavers when a crisis hits. A communication plan with family, friends and neighbors is also important. Emergency situations can happen any time, any place, so it is smart to be prepared." Although state and local governments are ready to assist the public during emergencies and disasters, preparedness starts at home, said Michael E. Dossett, director of Kentucky Emergency Management. "In the event of large-scale disasters, it may take time for local and state resources to respond to each community," Dossett said. "Disasters such as the massive statewide ice storm in 2009, flooding in 2011 and tornadoes in spring 2012 taught us the value of individual and family preparedness." Greg Thomas said educating and preparing citizens is important, which is why Gov. Beshear, Kentucky Homeland Security and Kentucky Emergency Management are joining together to offer preparedness tips. PLANNING FOR DISASTER: Be Aware:
