Pennington County Emergency Management needs your help!
Pennington County Emergency Management is partnering with Rapid City Area Schools to provide emergency kits for each classroom in the school district.
The kits for younger grades will include a colored armband for use in an evacuation due to an emergency. The armband will help with reunification if students are transferred to a different facility. Each class in a particular school will have a different color so as not to have two classrooms with the same color designation.
