National Preparedness Month
September marks National Preparedness Month and Safe Kids Larimer County and partners want you to be prepared in the event of a natural disaster or emergency. Do you have a plan? Do you have a 72-hour kit? What about your pets? There’s a lot to think about and many times disasters happen with very little warning. Don’t get caught unprepared. Check out www.readycolorado.com for resources to keep you, your family, and even your pets safe. Below are some links to checklists you can do with your family.

Old Car Seats?
Car seats cannot be accepted at the Colorado State Patrol Office in Fort Collins due to rodent issues. For now, keep those seats in your garage/basement as Safe Kids and partners are working on a “Car Seat Take Back Day”. If you need to get rid of the seat sooner, we recommend cutting the straps and putting the car seat in the trash.
Thanks!
