Being at home gives us a great opportunity to focus on protection. In the next weeks, we will share good information on fire safety, sever weather, security, and other concerns for your family.
Sadly, Michigan leads the country in fire deaths for 2020. We are sharing some statistics from the Michigan Fire Inspectors and MI-Prevention. Please discuss this with your family and watch for future information from us!

Be Prepared With a NOAA Weather Alert Radio
The recent tragedy in greater Nashville reminds us that severe weather season is approaching. Sadly, most people do not have the ability to be awakened and alerted of severe weather when they are asleep. Consider picking up a NOAA weather alert radio for your home or workplace. You can also select one of several smart phone apps that will alert when severe weather is approaching your area.
Stay alert, stay safe!

National Preparedness Month
If you are close to Selfridge ANG Base and you suddenly start hearing voices…don’t worry. Every Wednesday at noon the base will test its outdoor notification system. The “Big Voice” is commonly used at military installations, colleges, sports venues, and other outdoor facilities to give directions in an emergency. They will also test their system on the first Saturday of each month at 1pm along with our countywide siren test.
This month is National Preparedness Month. Getting information in an emergency is vital. Know how to find out what is happening from a reputable source no matter where you are. Cell phone apps, text notifications, weather alert radios, TV, and radio are good starts. Please do not use 911 as a way to find out what is happening! Keep phone lines open for emergencies. Instead, call a friend or family member to confirm an emergency. For more information, go to www.FEMA.gov
