Following the recent boil water notice issued last week, it’s essential that everyone remain prepared and ready in the event of an emergency. We encourage all Cambrians to:

• Stay up to date on all CCSD news by visiting www.cambriacsd.org, scrolling to the bottom of the page, clicking the ‘Join Our Mailing List’ icon, and subscribing to updates.
• Sign up for emergency notifications through AlertSLO, Smart911, and similar services.
• Create a “Go Bag” with essential supplies in case you need to evacuate quickly.
• Assemble a box of emergency items to sustain your household if you must shelter at home.

Staying prepared helps protect you, your family, and our community.

• AlertSLO is a new system that will provide important information, such as severe weather, major highway closures, planned power outages, or other emergency related information.  Although this system will also be utilized if protective action orders and warnings are issued, the system will focus on lower-level emergency related information.  These messages are sent by the Office of Emergency Services to registered devices, cell phones, or email alerting them of important emergency-related information.  User can select the type of information they want to be notified of when they sign up.  
• Smart911 allows you to be prepared for any emergency by giving public safety the information they need to better help and communicate with you.
• Smart911 alerts notify you when a public safety power outage might occur (you can sign up even if you are not an account holder)

Gather supplies and pack a bag to take if you have to evacuate. If you have to leave quickly, you may only have minutes to collect items, so pack a Go Bag now. Everyone in your household, including your pets, needs a Go Bag.

Gather supplies and assemble a box in case you have to shelter at home. 

• Be prepared to shelter in place for 5-7 days
• Store food, water, and extra medications
• Know how and when to turn off your gas and water

The ReadySLO.org website is full of helpful information and additional checklists for preparing.
