Michael J. Fox once said, "Don’t spend a lot of time imagining worst-case scenario", and that's a great quote to live by-- life is a lot more enjoyable and fulfilling when you're thinking positive thoughts. Notice how he doesn't say "NEVER imagine the worst-case scenario", though?
Having a plan for when things don't go according to plan is the most important thing you can do to keep you and your loved ones safe in the event of a dangerous emergency. Thankfully, the folks in the Emergency Management division of the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office specialize in worst-case scenarios-- imagining what could happen, and most importantly, preparing for every possible situation.
Emergency Planning Coordinator Derek Schroeder is here to tell us about how we work with local public safety organizations, businesses, and dozens of volunteers to build an impressive network to respond to whatever situations may arise. Plus, what you can do at home to prepare yourself for emergency situations, both natural or man made.
