The
Ipswich Public Health Department joins
the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) in promoting emergency
preparedness as part of the Know Plan Prepare campaign
during September which is National Preparedness Month. In September, the Public Health Office will be offering residents emergency planning guides, reusable grocery totes, flashlights and 7 day pill cases.
Know Plan Prepare is a statewide campaign
to encourage residents, families and communities to make plans and prepare for public
health and medical emergencies, severe weather, and natural disasters. The
campaign features local access television programming, online videos and
resources and social media components developed by the DPH Emergency
Preparedness Bureau, in partnership with state and local agencies.
