Don’t Wait. Communicate. Make Your Emergency Plan Today.

September is National Preparedness Month, and this year’s theme is “Don’t Wait. Communicate. Make Your Emergency Plan Today.” Each week of the month focuses on a different preparedness theme, including flood, wildfire, hurricane, and power outage. A special National PrepareAthon! Day of Action will take place on September 30. EMS/Rescue personnel can use this month to educate the community about disaster medical emergency preparedness, as well as making sure the department is ready to respond in case of a disaster.
