ICs can help residents of their communities prepare through public speaking, making information available online, and sharing information via community newsletters. For example, the City of Brecksville's home page has a direct link to a comprehensive emergency preparedness manual online (Opens in a new window).

Other examples of fairly comprehensive web sites for home emergency preparedness include Cleveland Heights (Opens in a new window) and Shaker Heights (Opens in a new window), but these sites are harder to find because they are several links away from the cities' home pages. The City of Beachwood has brief information on sheltering in place, followed by a link to more information via the American Red Cross fact sheet on SIP (Opens in a new window).
