Southeast Families: Do You Have a Plan for Emergencies?

Thirteen years after 9/11 and only 39 percent of people have an emergency plan and have discussed it with their family, reports the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Even fewer have an up-to-date disaster-supply kit at home.

So officials in Putnam County ‘s Department of Health and the Bureau of Emergency Services came up with a way to help residents jumpstart their family conversations: Movie Night.

This year’s second annual free event, scheduled for Friday night Sept. 26, will feature a showing of the theatrical release movie “World War Z,” rated PG-13.

That’s not all. There’s free food and a couple of useful things will be raffled off.

The snacks: a sampling of emergency food recipes.

The free raffle is for a top-of-the line crank radio and carbon monoxide detectors.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; showtime is 7 p.m. at the BES’s “TOPS” building, 112 Old Route Six in Carmel.
