The Wren Emergency Planning Committee is a project of the WCC. The committee's purpose is to help residents prepare for and respond to emergencies and disasters.  There are many on-line resources to aid parents/care givers with helping children during an emergency or disaster. The Wren Emergency Preparedness Committee encourages you to do some research and gather information, specific to your household, to include the well being of children when planning a household evacuation or shelter-in-place. Most importantly, PRACTICE, which will reduce chaos and stress during an emergency.

Neighborhood AlertsIn the event of an emergency, the co-coordinators activate the phone tree network, contacting (phone/text) each Neighborhood Leader. They, or a nearby neighbor, would contact you and provide information and/or instructions.
