Welcome to the City of Longmont's weekly e-News update.
Be Ready Longmont Program a Prep for Emergencies
During the initial stages of a large scale incident, essential services may not be available. Our community is a partner and an asset that is often overlooked during disasters. During 2011, the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will be providing our community with the tools necessary to safely help each other and empower our community to help itself. That program is called Be Ready Longmont. Preparedness is everyone’s job. We encourage you to visit www.ci.longmont.co.us/emergency for additional information and updates.
Help Our Neighbors in Need COPE
Citizens’ Opportunity to Provide Electricity (COPE) lets you help assure that City utilities of your neighbors in need remain uninterrupted. To begin contributing, check the COPE box on your monthly utility bill. Your monthly contribution continues until you request that it be discontinued. For more information call 303-651-8664.
