Learn to Prepare/Be Prepared
The Office of Emergency Management is reminding all residents to be prepared and get educated on what to do if a disaster threatens. Residents should be prepared at all times as disasters can strike without warning, forcing you to go for days without basic necessities or to evacuate your home.
Knowing the steps to take during a disaster – whether flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes or other crisis – can greatly reduce the danger and distress your family may face in an emergency. For more information on how to prepare for an emergency visit www.fema.gov or the American Red Cross at www.redross.org.
Ready Montco
ReadyMontco (formerly known as ReadyNotify) is Montgomery County’s new mass notification system that allows Hatboro residents to register to receive emergency notifications regarding potential hazards in the Borough and the surrounding area. Residents may register to receive alerts via phone, text, email, etc. for whatever areas they desire in order to remain as informed as possible. This free service not only allows Montgomery County Emergency Management Personnel to send you notifications, but can also be used by Hatboro Emergency Management Personnel in order to keep residents up to date during an Emergency situation within the Borough. Residents can register to receive alerts at www.readymontco.org.
