September is National Kinship Care Month. About half of children in the Kinship-ND program are cared for by grandparents, a quarter by aunts and uncles and many others by dedicated caregivers with no family tie who stepped in when there was nowhere else to turn. Their stability and support shape a child’s path forward, and we are deeply grateful for all they provide. If you or someone you know is caring for a child who is not their own, reach out to Kinship-ND for assistance at [email protected].

Our emergency preparedness system brings partners together to plan, train and respond across the state.

That includes three key pieces:

• A consistent emergency response process
• Trained people ready to respond
• Medical supplies and equipment that can be distributed where they're needed

It's a statewide approach built around one simple idea: when North Dakota faces a large-scale emergency, we respond together.

Because when an emergency happens, we're stronger when we respond as one.
