The Collier County Sheriff’s Office is monitoring the development of Tropical Storm Erika and urges residents and businesses to review their emergency plans.
It is essential to take the
necessary steps and be ready before a storm approaches, and that you have a
72-hour disaster survival kit prepared.
To give Collier County
residents one more tool to be prepared in the event of an emergency, Collier
County Emergency Management recently launched COLLIER72. The web-based
application enables county residents and visitors to use traditional and
digital social networks to help each other before, during and after an
emergency.
COLLIER72, which can be
accessed at www.collier72.org, gives
residents and visitors information on how to develop an emergency kit, how to
plan for emergencies and disasters, how to connect with their communities
socially and how to stay informed with emergency-related information.
COLLIER72 is also on Facebook
at www.facebook.com/collier72,
and on Twitter @Collier72org) to give the public additional ways to access
information.
