Disaster Preparedness

WELCOME TO THE Town of Hurley's Disaster Preparedness and Recovery webpage. Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Ulster County (ulster.cce.cornell.edu), in conjunction with the town, has developed a bank of resources to help you prepare yourself, your family, your neighborhood and your community. 

Disasters can occur unexpectedly and have devastating consequences for individuals and communities. In these situations, it is crucial to have a plan in place to minimize the impact of the disaster and recover as quickly as possible.

This web page, in subsections posted on the left-hand side, provides resources and information to help you prepare for disasters and emergencies. It covers a range of topics, from developing a family emergency plan to the multi-faceted relationship between climate change and natural disasters. It also provides information about what to do during and after a disaster, including how to access emergency services and start the recovery process.

The goal of this page is to empower individuals and communities to take proactive steps to reduce the impact of disasters and emergencies. By preparing in advance, we can better protect ourselves, our families, and our communities. We encourage you to explore the resources available on this webpage and take the necessary steps to be prepared for the unexpected.
