September is National Preparedness Month

You need an emergency plan! Planning for emergencies is essential because they can happen to anyone at any time.

Each September we recognize National Preparedness Month. It was created to promote family and community disaster planning now, but also in the future. 

Here are some tips to help plan: 

You need an emergency plan! Planning for emergencies is essential because they can happen to anyone at any time. If you already have a written emergency it might be a good time to review it.

Do have an emergency supply kit? If your emergency supply kit is already stocked, make sure that the items are not expired. For example, are the batteries still working? 

Make sure to cut back trees and shrubs that are too close to your house. Also, make sure that your insurance is up to date. Subscribe to your city or county’s emergency alerts. 

Make sure that those around you are prepared. Include your children in your preparedness drills.  Make sure to have those around you involved in emergency plans and what to do if you need to evacuate or shelter in place.
