Warren has emergency managers in both the 90th Civil Engineering Squadron and the 90th Medical Group. 

The mission for these employees is to ensure preparedness, training, response and recovery if anything should happen here. Occurrences that would require response could be natural disaster, terrorist acts and other manmade disasters. 

No one can predict when disaster may strike, but it is possible to prepare. Due to the nature of the 90th Missile Wing's mission, it is important to respond and serve the nation immediately and have confidence Warren families are ready for the task at hand. 

-- Do you have an emergency evacuation plan? 

-- Do you have a plan for communication should you lose contact with another family member? 

-- Do you have an emergency kit in your home and in your car? 

Http://www.ready.gov is a resource for preparedness and even identifies unique military family preparations. 

Please clip the family emergency plan below and fill it out. Take the time to gather the items on the emergency supply kit list. Be aware of diapers, formula, pet food and other items specific to your families needs. Many of these items are already in a home but should be in an easily accessible location. 

Local schools are also preparing should a disaster occur during the week day. Ask school officials for a copy of their emergency response plan.
