Emergency Preparedness

The Role of Preparedness

Preparedness plays a huge role in community safety and prevention. By preparing for certain situations, you can mitigate potential risks. By being aware of your surroundings and reporting suspicious behavior, you have already equipped yourself with a foundation for community preparedness.

The Chandler Police Department encourages you to become prepared. There are many resources available to better prepare you and your family. Events such as the terrorist attacks of September 11th and the devastating destruction from Hurricane Katrina give us ample reason to prepare for such unimaginable situations.
