Steuben County Emergency Management Agency Director Lee Greenamyer and summer intern Taylor Byrne join Andy St. John on WLKI 100.3 to discuss a vital new community safety initiative. Taylor shares the inspiration behind her disaster preparedness kit program, which packages essential survival items inside a portable bucket to help local residents--especially those on tight budgets--weather severe storms and power outages.
Learn what goes into a standard kit, how local businesses are supporting the cause, and how you can contribute to the community donation drive or purchase items directly through their Amazon wish list.
Key Highlights
- The "Everything-in-a-Bucket" Concept: Discover the essential items needed to survive unexpected emergencies, from water and flashlights to non-perishable foods.
- How to Donate: Find out where to drop off supplies locally (including the Steuben County Annex, Healthies, and The Rooted Vegan) or how to ship items directly to the agency using their new Amazon wish list.
