September is a time to Prepare Together with your own family

September is a time to Prepare Together with your own family


By Kiana Kabanje
Disaster Preparedness Outreach Program Manager

In addition to National Coffee Ice Cream Day happening in September, September is also National Preparedness Month! Preparedness is a team sport. By preparing together now, we will be better able to help each other in a disaster. It’s important to not wait until the next get-together to talk with the people in your life about being prepared for future disasters. 

While we still may be physically separate, we can be prepared together. Take a few minutes this month and talk about your disaster plan with the people that you care about. Watch an example of a conversation here:
