National Preparedness Month

September is National Preparedness Month.  It's  a great idea for families to plan what to do, and where to meet; in the event of a fire, natural disaster, or other emergency.  FEMA provides a helpful site with checklists to help you cover all bases: FEMA Site

Some easy but beneficial ideas include the following;
  • Have a family plan for how to exit your home and where to meet should a disaster strike.
  • Discuss a plan of action if disaster strikes while your family is at work or school.
  • Keep at least a 3 day supply of non-perishable food and drinking water in a safe place.
For more detail on National Preparedness Month check out the Red Cross' site: Red Cross Site
