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.
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.
