National Preparedness Month, sponsored by FEMA and held annually in September, is a good reminder that natural and man-made disasters can strike at any time.

It's important to always have a planned response when you're at home, at work, on vacation or on the road.

The National Safety Council recommends the following general precautions that apply to many disasters:

● Make sure at least one family member knows first aid and CPR
● Download the FEMA app for resources, weather alerts and safety tips
● Have a family communication plan in place
● Have all family members' and other important phone numbers written down
● Have an emergency kit in your car & at least 3 days of food and water at home
● Store all important documents in a fire-proof safe or safety deposit box
● Know how to shut off utilities

Mother Nature apparently decided we weren’t sweating enough and cranked the thermostat up a few extra degrees.

An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect through 7:00 PM Wednesday, so now is a good time to take the heat seriously — even if you’re pretending you’re tougher than the thermometer.

☀️ Beat the heat:
💧 Drink plenty of water; don’t wait until you’re thirsty.
🏠 Take frequent breaks in air conditioning or shade.
👶 Check on children, older adults, and those who may be more vulnerable to the heat.
🐶 Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle.
🚗 Remember, the inside of a vehicle can become dangerously hot in minutes.
🚨 If someone is showing signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, take action and call 911 when needed.

And remember: sweat is not a personality trait. If your body is telling you it’s had enough, listen to it.

Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Stay safe.

Here’s a video from Thursday August 6th from our Active Shooter Training with Raytown Police Department, Raytown C-2 School District and Metro Public Safety.

On Thursday, August 6, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., the Raytown Fire Protection District joined the Raytown Police Department, Metro Public Safety, and Raytown C2 School District for a coordinated active shooter training exercise.

The training was designed to strengthen interagency communication, coordination, and emergency response procedures in a simulated critical incident. By working together in a realistic training environment, first responders and school personnel were able to practice their roles and enhance their readiness for high-risk emergencies.

There were no injuries associated with this planned training exercise.

The Raytown Fire Protection District appreciates the continued partnership with the Raytown Police Department, Metro Public Safety, and Raytown Quality Schools. Collaborative training opportunities such as this are essential to ensuring a coordinated and effective response should a real emergency occur.
