Did you know the Steuben County Office of Emergency Services has created a mobile app to keep Steuben County citizens, businesses, and visitors prepared for and alerted to emergencies?
As part of the 2026 National Preparedness month download the free Steuben County Ready Steuben mobile app to receive county alerts, as well as alerts from the National Weather Service.

The app displays the local weather, 7-day weather forecast, and radar. The Ready Steuben app includes emergency preparedness resources to help you prepare for different kinds of emergencies. “Where am I” is a personal locator, giving exact address/longitude/latitude, which you can use to share your location with others. Setting up the “I’m OK” feature will allow you to quickly communicate with family or friends if you ever find yourself in an emergency situation.

The Damage Report form allows you to submit a damage report to the Office of Emergency Services along with photos. Use the Emergency Kit to help you keep track of the items you will need when an emergency happens, including adding personal items to your checklist.

Download the Ready Steuben mobile app onto your smartphone or tablet. It is available free of charge.

Emergency Preparedness Tips for Medical Device Users

September is National Preparedness Month, and Steuben County Public Health encourages medical device users to stand ready before an emergency happens.
This year’s theme, “Americans Stand Ready,” emphasizes three simple ideas: prepare yourself, protect the people you love, and help your community.
Emergencies can happen at any time. Taking a few steps now can help you stay safe and keep your medical devices working when you need them most.

Four ways to stand ready:
1. Know your device and its needs: Know how your device works, what supplies it needs, how it is powered, and what to do if it stops working or you lose access to electricity, internet, or other services.
2. Build a medical device emergency kit: Keep extra device-specific supplies, batteries or other power sources, chargers/adapters, medications if applicable, and important device information together and ready to go.
3. Make a backup plan: Think through what you will do if your device is damaged, lost, unavailable, or without power. Know where you can get replacement supplies or assistance and who you can contact.
4. Keep your information and support network ready: Keep your device information, manufacturer contact information, and other important health records accessible. Share this information with trusted people in your life and let them know what you need and how they can help — building a support network before an emergency means you will not have to navigate it alone.

The MMR vaccine provides safe and very effective protection against measles. Even after only one dose, effectiveness is 93%.
If you were born prior to 1957 you have presumed protection from measles.
Blood work, called a titer, can be drawn to check immunity from past vaccination or past infection.
Contact your provider to check immunization history or schedule a titer. Check here for more information: https://www.cdc.gov/measles/vaccines/index.html
