SEPTEMBER IS:
https://www.ready.gov/september
Our time to shine comes each year in September when the nation celebrates National Preparedness month! Not only does Ready.gov provide us with lots of material we can use to help our residents and visitors prepare for everything from severe storms to natural and man-made disasters, but we also have Buzzer to help us put out our own material! We LOVE this little bee! He wants everyone to “BEE” Prepared!!! Click the picture below to visit Buzzer’s page:

Week 1 September 1-5: Make A Plan
Talk to your friends and family about how you will communicate before, during, and after a disaster. Make sure to update your plan based on the Centers for Disease Control recommendations due to the coronavirus.
Week 2 September 6-12: Build A Kit
Gather supplies that will last for several days after a disaster for everyone living in your home. Don’t forget to consider the unique needs each person or pet may have in case you have to evacuate quickly. Update your kits and supplies based on recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control.
Week 3 September 13-19: Prepare for Disasters
Limit the impacts that disasters have on you and your family. Know the risk of disasters in your area and check your insurance coverage. Learn how to make your home stronger in the face of storms and other common hazards and act fast if you receive a local warning or alert.
Week 4 September 20-26: Teach Youth About Preparedness
Talk to your kids about preparing for emergencies and what to do in case you are separated. Reassure them by providing information about how they can get involved.
