Leadership Collierville, Class of 2007, is
in the process of preparing emergency disaster kits for citizens who are
interested in purchasing one. For more information, please click on the
Emergency Kit link for more information.
Imagine that you have no electricity, no gas, no water and no
telephone service. Imagine that all the businesses are closed and you are
without any kind of emergency services. What will you do until help arrives?
In a major disaster, it could be 72 hours or
more before vital services are restored and help arrives.
Collierville is exposed to a wide variety of hazards, both
natural and man-made. Earthquakes, fires, ice storms, tornados, severe storms,
power outages, and acts of terrorism are just some of the potential emergencies
we may encounter. As a community we must prepare ourselves to take care of our
families in the event of such disasters.
This site was developed by members of the Leadership Collierville Class of 2006 in cooperation with the Town of
Collierville to be used as an educational tool to aid our citizens in the event
of an emergency.
Click on the buttons to the left to find out how you can
prepare yourself and your family for an emergency. You can also learn what to do
in response to a specific disaster, like an earthquake, just in case.
For more information about this site, please
contact Jeff Abeln or David Townsend at 901-457-2500.
