During 2016’s National Disaster Preparedness Month,
Capital Insurance Group® to hold its 4th Annual CIG
Insurance Community Safety Saturday™ on
September 10, 2016 at the Monterey County Fair &
Event Center
This free community event, hosted by Capital Insurance Group (CIG), will provide valuable safety
information and activities for the whole family, including important fire prevention tips and how to
deal with emergencies! Children, teens and adults alike will learn how to “play it safe”.
Monterey, CA, July 27, 2016 – Let’s get prepared! If an emergency occurred tomorrow, would you be
ready? September is National Preparedness Month and Capital Insurance Group® is – hosting its 4th
Annual CIG Insurance Community Safety Saturday™ on September 10, 2016 at the Monterey County Fair
& Event Center, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
National Preparedness Month, sponsored by FEMA ( www.fema.gov ), aims to educate and empower
Americans to prepare for and respond to all types of emergencies, including natural disasters and
potential terrorist attacks. National Preparedness Month is a time to prepare yourself and those in your
care for emergencies and disasters, both large scale and smaller local events.
Get Prepared!
Each of us can make a difference in our own community but many of us have not taken the time to learn
the latest information about preparedness. Research on personal preparedness indicates that
individuals who believe they are prepared for disasters often times are not as prepared as they think. In
addition, some admit they do not plan to prepare at all. The challenge is maximizing awareness and
encouraging participation in disaster preparedness activities to affect change at the community level.
Dr. Sarah W. Blackstone, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Community Emergency Response Volunteers (CERV) of the
Monterey Peninsula explains, “Disasters occur infrequently but emergencies occur daily –whether it is
an accident or fire at home, a medical emergency, a tree falling on your house and so many other types
of emergencies that can happen to us and those we care about. It’s important to take the time to learn
how to become better prepared to deal with these occurrences!”
Our nation’s emergency managers, firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMT/paramedics, and other
emergency responders do an incredible job of keeping us safe, but they cannot do it alone. We must all
embrace our personal responsibility to be prepared and help contribute to the safety and security of our
communities as well.
Make sure that you and your family are prepared for an emergency. Ensure that you can go for at least
three days without electricity, water service, access to a supermarket, or other local services.
A few important steps to take:
• Prepare a disaster supply kit with at least three days of food and water. You can learn how to prepare
one from the many emergency & safety organizations at CIG Insurance Community Safety Saturday.
• Create a Family Emergency Plan, so that your family knows how to communicate during an
emergency.
• Obtain a NOAA Weather Radio.
Dick Bower, Emergency Planner with the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services provided some
local statistics from last year:
- In 2015, Monterey County was impacted by 9 incidents that were severe enough for the Office of
Emergency Services to track response and recovery activities.
- In three of those incidents, the County Emergency Operations Center was activated to support the
response and recovery.
- The most significant incident of 2015 was the Tassajara Fire which burned approximately 1,100 acres of
land and 20 structures in the Tassajara/Cachagua area.
- The Alert Monterey County emergency notification system saw an additional 9,700 people register for
service bringing total participation to 13,757 phones.
- In late 2015, OES began forming the Resilient Monterey County Partnership which has now grown to 7
participating organizations with ongoing recruitment.
The Monterey County Office of Emergency Services also has a very helpful online Disaster Plan about
preparing for disasters at http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/oes/Preparedness%20-%20Families.asp
