Disaster preparedness and appointing officers were just two topics discussed during today’s Pennyrile Regional Citizens Corps Council’s quarterly meeting.

The corps council re-elected Dan Nicholson as chairman and says he is thrilled to be abled to continue his efforts in serving the community.

Local officials from around the region then spoke about ongoing efforts to prepare residents of disasters, especially during the winter, when power is likely to go out.

Nicholson says residents can do simple things right now to prepare for disasters, like creating a kit containing essential items like food, water, blankets, batteries, flash lights and medicines.
