Emergency Preparedness

The Village of Montrose encourages all residents to have an emergency plan. Conditions can shift rapidly, leaving little time to gather essentials and contact family members at home, work and school to coordinate a meeting place. It is essential to begin preparations before a disaster strikes. Being prepared and knowing where to find local updates and evacuation notices can make a significant difference in critical moments when every minute matters. The following resources can help get you started.
