The Henry and Stark County Health Departments, along with the County Office of Emergency Management, are urging residents to review their emergency preparedness stockpiles during the time change on Sunday, March 8th. As part of the APHA’s Get Ready: Set Your Clocks, Check Your Stocks campaign, families are encouraged to ensure emergency supplies like food, water, and batteries are up to date and haven’t expired. Those without a stockpile are advised to start building one. Officials also remind residents to check and replace smoke alarm batteries during the clock change.
