Get Ready for Emergencies & Disasters
 September is National Preparedness Month
If an emergency situation arises in your community, are you prepared? Whether you're a fire department or family, sheriff's office or small business, everyone needs to be prepared for emergencies and natural disasters. That's why the Department of Homeland Security has declared the month of September as National Preparedness Month. DHS' preparedness site will help you understand what you need to do to prepare for emergencies.
CHIEF is also here to help. Gear up for emergency preparedness with our vast selection of products. From flashlights to water purifiers, batteries to survival kits, you'll find all the gear you need for emergency situations at CHIEF. Order online at CHIEFsupply.com, or call us at (888) 588-8569 to discuss the best gear for you.
From Dirty Water to Drinking Water
 3 Systems Available for the Fire Service and Emergency Management, (888) 588-8569
That's right: Dirty water goes in, and clean, pure drinking water flows out.
First Water Systems'™ patented technology enables first responders and emergency management personnel to ensure supplies of clean, pure drinking water, made from any non-saline source. Need to provide on-site drinking water and shower water to a wildland crew in deep forest? First Water has the solution. Planning for drinking water provision in the event of a municipal emergency or natural disaster? First Water tested their drinking water systems in the flood waters of post-Katrina New Orleans (look for the video "From flood water to drinking water in New Orleans" on each First Water product).
