Week 4 Preparedness education.

Get involved and help your community. The goal is to extend your preparedness beyond your household by helping your neighbors and getting involved in the community.

Check on neighbors who may need assistance.

Consider taking a first-aid or CPR class.

Explore joining a local Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).

Additional preparedness tips from Ready.gov

Keep important documents safe: Scan or photograph important documents and store them on a password-protected drive.

Maintain your kit: Check for expired items annually and replace them as needed.

Prepare for multiple locations: Create smaller emergency kits for your workplace and car, as you never know where you'll be when an emergency occurs.

Elaborate on making a family emergency plan

Preparedness Month Week 2 this year focuses on:

Making a Family Emergency Plan and Securing Your Financial Future

Create a family emergency plan: This involves identifying risks in your area, such as tornados, earthquakes, or wildfires.

Establish communication strategies: Determine how you will get important notifications before, during, and after a disaster, and develop a plan for connecting with family members if you are separated

Identify safe spaces and meeting points: Pinpoint safe places in your home to shelter, like a basement, and designate safe meeting places for your family both inside and outside your neighborhood.

Address diverse needs: Plan for everyone in your household, including children, elders, pets, and people with disabilities.

Plan for financial security: Take steps to protect your household's finances, which may include developing a plan for financial recovery and building resilience.

Practice your plan: Regularly practice your family emergency plan to ensure everyone knows what to do in a real emergency

September is National Preparedness month

The first week focuses on making a personal and family emergency plan.

Does your family unit have a plan for disasters or emergencies?

Things your plan should include:

1. Research local hazards: Understand what natural disasters are most likely to affect your specific area.

2. Create a family communication plan: Discuss how you will get in touch with each other and where you will meet if separated during an emergency.

3. Discuss responsibilities: Determine what each family member will do to help in a disaster, including caring for pets or operating medical equipment.

4. Identify your specific needs: Think about unique needs such as medications, dietary restrictions, or supplies for family members with disabilities or infants.

5. Secure important documents: Gather and safeguard critical documents like insurance policies, birth certificates, and financial records.

6. Use online resources: Visit Ready.gov and the FEMA app for more information and planning tools.

Stay safe and be prepared!
