🔥Each September, National Emergency Preparedness Month serves as a reminder for Americans to get ready for potential disasters or emergencies at home. NC OSFM has teamed up with Safe Kids North Carolina to help remind NC families about safety this month and all year long! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🌟 Visit our website to learn more, linked in the comments below 👇

Emergencies can strike without warning, especially when families might not know where to start. Don't put off safety in your home; here are some steps you can take now to safeguard your loved ones:

✔️ Assemble an emergency kit filled with essentials
✔️ Always check your smoke alarms
✔️ Stay updated on local threats and alerts
✔️ Familiarize yourself with evacuation routes in your area
