2013 Drill Report
Last year an amazing 86% of Lindon's residents participated in the Lindon City Drill! We have seen drastic improvements in both the speed and accuracy of your reporting over the last 5 years, as well as a continuing increase in participation, for which we THANK YOU! We do this drill in an effort to create a more resilient community in the face of a real emergency. The drill helps us get to know all of our neighbors and their special needs, and it helps us learn how to fill out necessary forms--the same forms we would use in an actual event. Associated with this special day of preparedness, schools and businesses also plan and carry out emergency drills. Additionally, we continue to do specific and important training for our police, mayor, and city council. This emergency management training gets a little more sophisticated and complicated every year, and every year they step up to the challenge!
We encourage you as individuals and families to create and practice your own emergency plan(s) on the day of the drill. No disaster response (or drill!) will ever be perfect, but with your help and participation, this annual event will help make us one of the most prepared cities in the world.

Weekly Planning Meetings will be held every Thursday at 7PM in the courtroom of the city building, except for Aug 28th which will be at the Lindon Community Center. The public is welcome and encouraged to participate in these meetings. Sit and listen or join one of our planning committees: business preparedness and continuity, special needs population, communications, publicity/outreach, and evaluation. We can always use more hands!
