As residents prepare to set their clocks back next Sunday, November 2nd, for daylight saving time, local health officials urge everyone to use the opportunity to check their emergency preparedness stockpiles. The Henry and Stark County Health Departments, along with the Office of Emergency Management, are participating in the APHA’s “Get Ready: Set Your Clocks, Check Your Stocks” campaign. The initiative promotes reviewing emergency supplies to ensure adequate food, water, and essentials are on hand, and nothing has expired or is missing. Officials also encourage everyone to check smoke alarm batteries during this time. Visit aphagetready.org or henrystarkhealth.com for preparedness tips. Stay prepared for weather emergencies and health threats year-round.
