INVITATION TO BID
By the City of Homer, Alaska

East End Road/Ronda Street Water Main Crossing 2019

Addendum #1 Issued 04/29/19

Be Prepared to "Grab & Go" During an Evacuation

In the event of an earthquake, tsunami or fire, you may have to quickly evacuate your home or workplace with little or no warning.  Make a "Grab & Go Bag" of essentials to grab on your way out.  A "Grab & Go Bag" is a packed case that will help keep you safe and comfortable in the coming hours and days. 

Don’t lose touch with your family during a disaster!  Make a family communication plan this weekend.

Emergencies can happen at any time. You will want to send and receive information from your family and friends.  

“What if something happens and I’m not with my family?” “How will I know they are safe?” “How can I let them know I’m OK?”  

What to do today?  

Gather your questions and tune in to
