As we adjust our clocks this weekend for daylight saving time, local health authorities in Henry and Stark Counties, along with the Henry County Office of Emergency Management, are using this moment to remind us about something just as important: our emergency preparedness. Tied to the American Public Health Association’s campaign, “Get Ready: Set Your Clocks, Check Your Stocks,” this initiative urges everyone to update or start their emergency supply kits. Items to check include food, water, and other essentials to ensure they are not only sufficient but also fresh and within use-by dates. It’s a simple step that could be crucial in emergencies.
