Millard County
Community  “Project SPLAT”
For the month of March 2010 your local CERT members are helping each community with Disaster Preparedness & Supplies that will help each residence of Millard County be ready when a disaster comes our way.

Project “SPLAT” stands for Store, Prepare, Learn, Assist, Train.
We will be bringing to you supplies, ideas and training we will be suggesting each month throughout the year.  You are welcome to submit ideas to the team for supplies and training which you may feel helpful for the community as well.
