“Get involved now with Get Ready Atherton.
Atherton is fortunate to have Get Ready Atherton as the go-to resource for disaster and major emergency training and preparation. Empower yourself and your family, for our police force, fire services and medical response teams will likely not have the ability to reach every resident for at least 7 days after an emergency.”
