Our community must prepare mentally and physically for any emergency that may occur.  An important priority, the Town of Granby is constantly improving its own readiness through planning and hands-on exercises, both internally and by coordinating with Oswego County Emergency Management, NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, and federal agencies.

Preparation

1. Develop an Emergency Plan: Develop a plan for what to do at home, and learn about plans at your workplace, school, or anywhere your family spends time.  Include emergency contact information for friends and family members, both local and out of town.
2. Build an Emergency Supplies Kit: Often during an emergency, electricity, heat, air conditioning or telephone service may not work.  Be prepared to make it on your own for at least 10 days. Learn what emergency tools and supplies you should gather for your kit here.
3. Be Aware: Sign up for NY-ALERT at https://alert.ny.gov to receive emergency notifications.  Learn about other resources that can provide you with updated information during an emergency.  Pay attention to news and know your surroundings.

Notification Systems

Besides using reverse 911 which calls land-line phones, Oswego County offers a service that will notify you by your cell phone, email, and/or TDD to be notified of local emergencies or community alerts.  You can sign up by clicking here.
