What is Bounce Day?

For the newest information please go to www.Bouncday.org

Bounce Day aims to improve community resilience through an integrated disaster response experience that provides opportunities for education, collaboration, and innovation. Bounce Day is put on by a collaboration of Mayo Clinic researchers, educators and students, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Military medical personnel, local medical alliances, theatre groups and lay community members. Actors simulating illness (zombies) and those affected by the crumbling of society will interact with participants learning both medical and nonmedical response protocols ranging from vaccination and treatment to refugee camp management and security.

September is National Preparedness Month




While resilience and preparedness are different, you can't have a successful response without both. Take a moment to learn more about preparedness.

This National Preparedness Month Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare.

The Ready Campaign established four universal building blocks of emergency preparedness: Be informed, Make a Plan, Build a Kit, and Get Involved. America’s PrepareAthon! builds on this foundation by encouraging millions of Americans to focus on a simple, specific activity that will increase preparedness.
Be Disaster Aware. Prepare.











During National Preparedness Month we ask you, your family, community, school and workplace to take action by planning a National PrepareAthon! Day on or around September 30th. We recommend using digital media tools as a way to promote National Preparedness Month, September 1-30th.

Each week throughout National Preparedness Month will focus on different emergency preparation topics:

Week 1 - How to reconnect with family after a disaster

Week 2 - Know how to plan for specific needs before a disaster

Week 3 – How to build an emergency kit

Week 4 & 5 - How to practice for an emergency

Ready.gov has all the information you need to start the conversation with your family including emergency kit checklists and disaster fact sheets.
