BE PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES

Keppie Kepliner, Deputy Program Manager for

Jefferson County Shares Some Suggestions for

Emergency Management

1. GRAB AND GO KIT Consider something as small

as a backpack or an ice chest on wheels that will

hold adequate supplies for 7-10 days. Include

food items, first aid kit, flashlight, portable radio, cell phone and charger,

duct tape, pocket knife, tools to turn off utilities, nylon cord or rope,

gloves, small fire extinguisher, folding shovel and saw, extra set of car

and house keys, prescription medications, and seasonal clothing.

2. VEHICLE KIT Flares, Booster cables, flashlight, leather gloves, knife, duct

tape, emergency blanket, first aid kit, tire inflation can, water and non-

perishable food, rain coat, plastic tarp, towel, handi-wipes, waterproof

matches, 3# coffee can of sand or kitty litter, toilet paper, folding shovel

and saw, wool blanket or sleeping bag, fire extinguisher.

3. TURN OFF UTILITIES It is important to learn how to shut off utilities

following a disaster. * Turn off the main water shut off value at the

house. This will prevent contaminated water from entering your water

heater and plumbing. * Unplug electrical power to the well pump.

*Regardless of water source, turn off the power to the hot water tank.

*Shut off each circuit before shutting off the main circuit. Begin at the

bottom and turn each breaker off. To turn back on, start at top and work

down. * Turn off the propane.

4. Keep your vehicle gas tank at least half full. After a disaster, gas station

pumps may not be working. Remember to carry cash as credit card

machines will not work if the power is out.

5. SIGN UP FOR LOCAL TEXT MESSAGES. Log on to www.jeffcoeoc.org to

subscribe to free text alerts and e-mails about emergencies affecting

Jefferson County. (Severe weather , Tsunami warnings, Major traffic

closures, Other local emergencies.)

Brinnon History

The photograph we carried last month under Brinnon History is the store which sat on the

property which is now occupied by the Brinnon Community Center. Next month we’ll show

you what the interior looked like,

The Brinnon Cemetery was created by our town founder, Ewell P. Brinnon, in 1894 when he

set aside 1 acre of land to be used as a graveyard. He and his wife, Kate, are interred at the

cemetery. It is now owned by Jefferson County Cemetery District 1 and, as residents, we pay

a cemetery tax to support it.

Puzzle

Below, 10 nine-letter words have been broken into chunks

of three letters. These chunks have been mixed up, no

chunk is used twice and all of the chunks are used.

Can you determine the 10 original words?

IRS FORM 1040

Have you ever wondered why the IRS

calls it “Form 1040”? It’s actually

quite simple. For every $50 you

make, you get to keep $10 and they

take $40.

Special thanks to Judy and Starre for

tending and watering all the planters at

the Community Center this summer.

They look great !!
