HomeMy WebLinkAboutPrsntatn - National Preparedness MonthWhereas, no one can predict when or where the next crisis
will arise; and
Whereas, the City of Palm Desert is vulnerable to natural
disasters or human -caused emergencies; and
Whereas, the American public remains largely unaware and
unprepared for possible disasters and other life -threatening
emergencies in their own community; and
Whereas, government agencies and disaster organizations
cannot bear the sole responsibility to prepare for and respond to
disasters; and
Whereas, the City of Palm Desert and The American Red
Cross encourage Americans to learn more about preparedness at
home and in their community; and
Whereas, National Preparedness Month is a nationwide
effort held each September to raise awareness about the
importance of planning for all types of disasters.
Now Therefore, I, Robert Spiegel, Mayor of the City of Palm
Desert, Along With the Entire City Council, do hereby recognize
September, 2016, as
National Preparedness Month
in the City of Palm Desert and urge all households to create a
family disaster plan during National Preparedness Month to
ensure everyone is ready for the next emergency or disaster.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand
and have caused the Official Seal of the City of
Palm Desert, California, to be affixed this 22nd day
of September, 2016.
