If an emergency occurred tomorrow, would you be ready?
September is National Preparedness Month. During this month, we’ll aim to educate and empower Americans to prepare for and respond to all types of emergencies, including natural disasters and potential terrorist attacks.
National Preparedness Month is a time to prepare yourself and those in your care for emergencies and disasters, both large scale and smaller local events. We know that emergencies can happen unexpectedly in communities just like yours, to people like you. We’ve seen tornado outbreaks, river floods and flash floods, historic earthquakes, tsunamis, and even water main breaks and power outages that impact communities for days at a time.
In August we started 30 Preparedness tips, please look back through these tips and follow each day as we continue to add more.
