Preparedness is a family activity!

Emergencies don't always give us a warning, but a little preparation now can make a big difference later.

Throughout September, we're challenging families to complete a simple preparedness activity each day. From identifying two ways out of your home to making sure everyone knows your address, these are easy steps that can help your household feel more confident and prepared.

And don't forget to plan for everyone in your household—including children, older adults, caregivers, pets, medications, and medical equipment.

📅 Take the September Preparedness Challenge with us!

Charlee will be working in our office as our OJT (On-the-Job Training) high school student for the 2026–27 school year. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome if you see her!
