EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM MONTHLY DISASTER TIP
September
National Preparedness Month

September 2013 marks the ninth annual National Preparedness Month. This year’s focus is on You can be the HERO! and changing perceptions about emergency preparedness and helping each community understand what it truly means to be READY. When preparing for a possible emergency situation, it’s important to prepare an emergency supply kit that includes basic needs for survival, develop a family emergency plan, and be informed about the different types of emergencies that may occur in this area and the appropriate ways to respond to them. Everyone should have disaster supply kits stored in accessible locations at home, at work and in your vehicle. Having emergency supplies readily available can reduce the impact of an earthquake, a terrorist incident, a pandemic or other emergency on you and your family.

Prepare for an Emergency-Get a Kit and place the following items in it:

· One gallon of water per person per day for three days-remember to include enough for your pets too.

· At least a three day supply of non-perishable food. Select foods that require no refrigeration, preparation or cooking, and little or no water. Also choose foods your family will eat , such as ready to eat can meats, peanut butter, protein or fruit bars, and dry cereal or granola. Also pack a manual can opener and utensils. Don’t forget to add food for your pet.

· Battery-powered or hand crank radio and NOAA Weather radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both. You can find one radio that is a combination of both.

· Flashlight with extra batteries

· First aid Kit

· Whistle to signal for help

· Dust mask to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter in place

· Moist towelettes, garbage bags, and five gallon bucket for personal sanitation.

· Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities

AUGUST "GET CAUGHT RECYCLING" WINNERS


AND THE WINNERS ARE . . . . . . CONGRATULATIONS to the following, who each won $50 for recycling:

Karen Rousseau Miller, Windward Slope Drive, Windward Slopes
Kevin and Pamela McAdams, E. Fir Hill Drive, Plantation Hills
Parker and Mandy Magness, Taos Trail Drive, Creekside Manor
Sarah Albers, Brandon Way Lane, Plantation Fairways

Lakeland's “Get Caught Recycling” program is to encourage the people who haven't taken the time to recycle in the past, and to reduce the total amount of material that is hauled off to the landfill. Each month, 4 lucky residents that have at least three different types of recycle material in their bins are awarded $50--recycling literally pays off in Lakeland! Thanks to all the awesome folks who make the effort to recycle.

Household addresses are selected in a random drawing and a City representative checks the bins at the houses in the order of the draw. The winners "caught recycling" are invited to the Lakeland Board of Commissioners meeting the following month for recognition by the Board, and to receive their checks. Items that can be recycled and qualify for the contest are glass, metal cans, aluminum cans, plastics (remove caps and leave labels attached), newspapers, and cardboard boxes broken down to fit inside the recycle bin. Recycle and you have a chance to win $50.

THIRD QUARTER 2013 “ART IN CITY HALL” EXHIBIT
Featuring Oil Paintings by Sandy Scruggs

Sandy Scruggs is the City of Lakeland’s featured artist for the July-September Quarterly “Art at City Hall” exhibit.

Sandy was first introduced to oil painting in 1979. Her first instructor was Jewel Armstrong, whom she spent 3 ½ years learning the style and techniques of the old masters. From there she attended various workshops and began focusing more on the works of the Impressionists and their use of color. Sandy was part of a local group of artists who went to France to study art history by touring Paris and the surrounding area, and with classroom instruction at the College of Art in Angers, France.

Since 1999, Sandy has devoted much of her creative energy to instruction and encouraging others who share her love of art. She enjoys capturing the beauty of nature in her landscapes and still-life's. Her true love is the challenge of painting animals. Her works may currently be seen at Market Central and Fountain Art Gallery, of which she has been a member for 15 years in Memphis, TN. Visit her website at www.sandyspaintings.com.

Artists interested in being considered for future exhibits may contact Joy Cloud at 867-2717 or jcloud@lakelandtn.org.
