In recognition of National Preparedness Month, the Town of Superior's Disaster Preparedness and Recovery department is hosting a new Ready Together: Community Alert Drill in September. This fun, family-friendly preparedness event helps households practice what to do in a real emergency.
When: Tuesday, Sept. 15 | 6 to 7 p.m. Where: Superior Civic Space (2250 Main St., Suite 1001) What to expect: Before the drill, families are encouraged to join Superior's Disaster Preparedness and Recovery team, the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, and Mountain View Fire Rescue for a short meeting to discuss expectations, decide who is responsible for key tasks, review their household emergency plan, and ensure everyone, including children, older adults, and pets, knows their role.
As a special part of the drill, residents with pets are invited to help us test a new pet preparedness app. By registering your pets and using the app during the drill, you’ll help us evaluate how well the app works, identify opportunities for improvement, and determine whether it’s a valuable preparedness tool for Superior residents.
When: Saturday, Sept. 19 | 10 a.m. Where: Your home What to expect: Boulder County will send a clearly marked test alert. Once received, households start a timer and put their emergency plan into action. Family members gather their essential items, load their grab-list necessities into their vehicle, and stop the timer once everyone and everything is safely loaded and they are ready to go. There is no driving during the drill. Registration: Please register for this event. Additionally, if you would like to participate and are not yet registered to receive emergency notifications, register through BoCo Alert.
When: Saturday, Sept. 19 | 1 p.m. Where: Superior Civic Space (2250 Main St., Suite 1001) What to expect: Afterward, families may join us for a free lunch and celebrate what went well with a Ready Together post-event debrief. The goal of the drill is to build confidence, reduce stress, and ensure that every member of the household, including our furry family members, knows what to do when every minute counts.
