Foothills Sentry September 2023

Page 9 Foothills Sentry September 2023 Emergency preparedness starts today. Emergencies often come without warning. Whether it’s a storm, earthquake, wildfire or flood, having a plan can help reduce the potential impact on your family. You can start by packing a preparedness kit with basic supplies and stay informed by updating your outage alert preferences.

Aida Cuevas, left, archivist at the Center, accepted the donation from Kathy Thomas, Woman’s Club historian. Thomas will also volunteer at the history center to help scan, document and inven- tory the material. Ultimately, all will be available digitally for the community to enjoy.
