Public Health Emergency Preparedness

The focus of the City of Meriden Emergency Planning Guide is to provide Meriden citizens with basic information and resources regarding emergencies. Click here for the complete City of Meriden Emergency Planning Guide.

Emergency Preparedness is a tool. Planning in advance of any "emergency" helps lessen the impact of the emergency on people, property, and the community we live in. By planning before an emergency you will have the best possible answers and choices all ready for you to review and select from.

  Ready.gov has lots of information! Click on the picture to visit their website.

 The American Public Health Association has multiple fact sheets in English and Spanish to help our community prepare for an emergency.
