SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH:
Being prepared for an emergency is everyone's responsibility. National Preparedness Month is recognized each September to promote family and community disaster and emergency planning now and throughout the year. The goal is to have every person and family capable of being self-sufficient for 72 hours during a large-scale disaster. The 2019 theme is "Prepared, Not Scared."
