Ridgewood residents have learned over the past year that preparing for the worst-case scenario might be the best defense against storms and other emergency situations.
The Ridgewood Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has stressed this and other safety awareness tips, as the village commemorates National Emergency Preparedness Month now through the end of the month. This year marks the first time that Ridgewood has formally recognized September as emergency preparedness month, which was started in 2004 by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
“Public information before, during and after an event is absolutely critical,” said Mayor Paul Aronsohn, emphasizing government’s role in keeping the public aware and ready.
