Communicating with First Responders in a Disaster

Please stop by city hall to for free “OK/Help” signs (pictured below). It is also possible to make your own. These are intended to be displayed in your window in the event of a widespread disaster in which other forms of communication might not be functional. Please consider these a last resort and make every effort to use other methods to communicate with emergency personnel if at all possible.
