DECEMBER CRISISREADY HOWARD COUNTY EVENTS

Don't Be Scared - Be Prepared!

Are your vital documents backed up? What documents are even “vital”?

A fire, flood, tornado, or lost password may separate you from the crucial documents that prove your identity and serve as authorization for important life decisions. Replacing these documents can seem like a never-ending loop as you try to figure out the chicken-and-the egg cycle of government bureaucracy.

Learn tips for which documents are important to protect and ideas for how to back them up (redundantly). Bonus: we’re even covering how to create an inventory for an insurance claim.

Plus! Learn how to properly administer Narcan and how to use an Epi-Pen Autoinjector from the Howard County Health Department with hands-on training. Participants will receive a free dose of Narcan. Participants must be at least 12 years old (or in the 6th grade) or older.

Cost: Free!
