St. Johns County Emergency Management invites you to watch the new Ready America Instructional Videos to help you prepare for Hurricane Season. Each video addresses a specific topic regarding disaster preparedness. A brief opening message from Emergency Management and Animal Control staff has been added to the beginning of each video introducing the video and its importance to you, the citizen of St. Johns County. Contact information is included at the end of each video should you have need of addtioanl information.
In order to encourage citizens to prepare themselves, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in partnership with The Advertising Council, has created instructional videos to help educate and empower Americans to prepare for and respond to all kinds of emergencies. The first instructional video was designed to detail how families get an emergency supply kit, make a family emergency plan, and be informed about the different types of emergencies in their community. Additional instructional videos with specific information for pet owners, older Americans and individuals with disabilities and other special needs have also been created.
The following videos are in Windows Media Player (WMV) format. If you do not have Windows Media Player, you can download it from the Microsoft Web site.
