National Preparedness Month (NPM), recognized each September, provides an opportunity to remind us that we all must prepare ourselves and our families now and throughout the year. This NPM will focus on planning, with an overarching theme: Disasters Happen. Prepare Now. Learn How.

Check back with us this month for more information on how you and your family can get prepared in case of a disaster. Each week we will focus on a new theme with details to help you get ready for an emergency.

This week the theme is “Make and Practice Your Plan”.  For resources including templates and instructions on how to make a plan for you and your family visit https://www.ready.gov/make-a-plan. There are resources in large print, other languages and more so make sure you take a few minutes to get Ready!
