Johnson County Emergency Management
Businesses
In order to protect the health and safety of their employees and their businesses, business owners and managers should:
- Prepare, review, revise and exercise their emergency plans and evacuation procedures; and
- Maintain an emergency supplies, including not only survival items (water, flashlight, special medications), but also items that will provide comfort if you are evacuated (comfortable shoes and a first-aid kit)
If threat information is received that is specific to a certain building or business, the appropriate facilities will be contacted as necessary by public safety officials to alert them to additional security provisions that are being made or should be taken.
