The possibility of an emergency, either man made or natural, faces people everywhere at all times. Emergencies can come suddenly with little of no warning. What should a person do if a wind with hurricane force whips through Chester Gap and across the county? What can be done on a cold night if a family is confronted by a raging chimney fire?

These question* andmoreare answered in a pamphlet now being provided for free by the Rappahannock County Office of Emergency Services (OES). The neatly condensed pamphlet tells the who, what, where, when, how and why of emergencies in a format that’s easy to read.

Pamphlets are available at Rappahannock National Bank and Farmers and Merchants Bank of Flint Hill; the Rappahannock Social Services Department and the Sheriffs Department; the Rappahannock County Library and the Rappahannock News.

For more information on the pamphlets or OES, contact OES Coordinator Col. D. C. Knuepfer at 675-3744 or OES Deputy Bob Mahlbacher at 675-3144.

“Be prepared. After all, it wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark,” Col. Knuepfer notes.
