Antioch Community Prepares for Disasters and Emergencies during National Preparedness Month?

We respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Lake County!

September is National Preparedness Month, and our local Northwest Lane County team wants everyone in Antioch to be prepared for the next disaster or emergency. Severe weather or made-made disasters, like chemical spills, can happen with little or no advanced warning, so making sure communities have plans in place ensures the safety and well-being of communities when facing unexpected events.

This year the focus is on ensuring older adults have the support and resources they need to stay safe during and after a disaster or emergency. Elderly individuals are often more susceptible to the impacts of disasters. They may have physical limitations, chronic health conditions, or reduced mobility, which can hinder their ability to respond quickly or evacuate if necessary. Preparing them in advance ensures they have the necessary support and resources to overcome these challenges.

Elderly individuals may face challenges in evacuating due to mobility issues, transportation limitations, or unfamiliarity with evacuation procedures. Preparing them includes developing strategies for their safe evacuation, identifying accessible transportation options, and ensuring appropriate accommodations and support services are available at shelters.
