September is National Preparedness Month. This is a good time to talk to your friends and family about how you will communicate before, during, and after a disaster. Having a plan is key. For tips and plans, visit: ready.gov/September

To help residents with health concerns, the Escondido Fire Department has launched the Residential KnoxBox Program. This program provides lock boxes at no cost to at-risk residents in the service areas of Escondido and the Rincon Fire Protection District. A spare house key can be stored inside the box for access by fire personnel during emergencies. More information about the program can be found here.
