Glen Lake Fire Department News

This month is National Preparedness Month!  As part of this national initiative, we at the Glen Lake Fire Department want to let you know a few of the ways we prepare for disasters in the region:

• Leelanau County Emergency Management runs mock disasters ranging from plane crashes to tornadoes striking local schools frequently to ensure preparedness of all emergency services agencies in the county for mass-casualty incidents
• GLFD training staff ensures members are up to date on all skills needed for disaster and emergency operations, which for us range from: car accidents, structure fires, medical incidents, as well as more technical situations including boat rescue and search and rescue.

We encourage all of you to become more prepared to face any disaster that could strike the region.  Over the coming weeks, the blog will focus on a few of the more likely disasters that could strike the region and what you can do to become more prepared.
Please visit ready.gov for more information on disaster preparedness, and as always please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.
