Emergency Preparedness

The Ready.gov website has a huge amount of information on how to set up your own emergency plan, build an emergency kit, and keep up-to-date with real-time app-based weather and emergency alerts. You can download help with plans for you and your family, kids workbooks, tips and checklists. Well worth the visit!

Portage County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) also provides an app that provides preparedness information and warnings for Portage County. (Apple, Android) 

The Village of Mantua has contracted with the XXX Police Department to provide all 911 services. 

Floods, fires and tornadoes can expose potential hazards to the environment. Asbestos, once commonly used in construction, can be released during these events, leading to serious health risks like mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer. To spread accurate information, the Mesothelioma Center has developed guides addressing asbestos dangers in natural disasters and symptoms of mesothelioma.
