Agencies at the federal, state, and local levels, in partnership with community-based organizations, have a wealth of emergency/disaster preparedness information and resources. Below are key topics and links to websites and documents that should help you prepare for just about any type of disaster.
The resources listed here are by no means a complete listing. Some hyperlinks will direct to you to sites not managed by the City of Monroe. Because making a plan, having emergency supplies and knowing how to get emergency information are so important, they are listed first. All other topics are listed alphabetically.
We recommend downloading the following comprehensive disaster preparedness guides:
