Emergency Cache Container Program 2024 ACCESS DAY #2

Gearhart Emergency Cache Container Program

The Next Step in Pro-Active Resident Emergency Preparation

In the event of an emergency, what if you had the option to access a personal bin full of clothing, food, and other supplies you hand-selected? Join the Emergency Cache Container Program TODAY to make this possibility a reality. This program is not intended to replace the recommended 72-hour Go Bag each resident should possess; it is meant to supplement your Go Bag beyond the first three days. Here is a direct link to the brochure with all the details!
