Help us start a conversation that could save lives...
Fire.  Flood.  Windstorm.  Power Outage.  Have you been involved in a disaster or emergency?   Were you ready? Did you have a family plan? Did you have an emergency kit?   Do you wish you’d had one? What was the best thing you did ahead of time? If you had to do it over again, what would you do differently?

We want to hear your story. Share your experience. Help your neighbors realize:   It can happen to them. 

E-mail us. Visit our Facebook pages (Benton County Emergency Services or Morrow County Emergency Management). Come see us at the County Fair. We’re gathering your stories in order to share lessons learned, stories from people who know first-hand how quickly disaster can strike.
