Middlesex Municipal Day

The County of Middlesex would like your input on their new County Cycling Strategy. A key component of the Cycling Strategy is consultation and engagement with members of the public, stakeholders and interested agencies and groups. They want to hear from you and need your help to develop a “Made in Middlesex” Cycling Strategy! Within each phase there will be an opportunity for you to provide your input. As these opportunities become available more detailed information will be provided on the website. https://www.middlesex.ca/node/823

Emergency Preparedness Tips: Discuss how to prepare and respond to emergencies that are most likely to happen where you live and work. Identify responsibilities for each member of your household. Plan what to do if you have to evacuate. Identify two places for your family to meet. One right outside your home in case of a sudden emergency, such as a fire. The other outside of your neighborhood, in case you cannot return home. Make a family communication plan. Develop a plan so your family can stay in touch during an emergency. Include phone numbers for all family members, caregivers, and work, school, and daycare phone numbers, if applicable. Often long distance phone calls are easier to make during an emergency. Identify a long-distant contact that everyone in your family can call during an emergency to leave messages for the others. Make a plan for your pets Identify sheltering options for your pet if you need to evacuate. Consider family, friends, pet-friendly hotels or pet boarding facilities.
