September is National Preparedness Month | Toolkits

September is National Preparedness Month, a reminder to ensure your family and community are ready for emergencies. Preparedness varies based on individual needs, so consider potential local disasters and the specific needs of your household.

 

FEMA offers toolkits to spark conversations about preparedness, making it easier to discuss emergency plans. Building community resilience is key—get to know your neighbors and find ways to support each other during crises. Consider joining the Medical Reserve Corps or FEMA’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) to assist in disaster preparedness and response. Simple actions today can strengthen collective readiness for the future.
