September Is Designated As National Preparedness Month

Sunday, August 18th, 2013 -- 8:21 AM

The thought of your family or business being impacted by a disaster is never a pleasant one. It is however, extremely important to plan ahead and be ready if disaster strikes.

Disasters can be natural or man-made such as transportation accidents or even deliberate acts. Knowing the hazards you face in everyday life and thinking ahead about how you will react to them can make the difference between life and death. Each year the month of September is designated as National Preparedness Month to encourage residents to plan and prepare for disasters which may pose a hazard to them.

Knowing what to do and preparing in advance will go a long way to improving the likelihood of a positive outcome in a disaster.

An important step is assembling an Emergency Supplies Kit. This kit should contain things such as flashlights, portable radios and batteries, along with water for drinking and non perishable food items.

Together we can build disaster resilient communities through education and efforts to be ready.
