When disasters strike, having a plan in place helps ensure a more successful outcome for you and your family.
Waterford Township is pleased to partner with Tenuta’s Food Lane to help residents become self-reliant for the first 72 hours of a disaster. Each month for one year, Tenuta’s will sell a select item or type of item at cost. This will allow people to purchase and stock up on items to help their families during a natural disaster.
