September is National Preparedness Month. Ask yourself these questions. What would you do if you or someone you know experienced a disaster? How would you communicate with your family? What about food, water, money? Is your child’s school ready and what is their plan? How can you help during a disaster?
This website offers suggestions and preventative steps ranging from what to do before, during, and after a disaster to building a disaster kit. It includes checklists, financial preparedness, videos, cell phone usage tips, and situational advice on different types of emergencies.
Ready.gov covers information about the needs of seniors, young children, and even what to do about pets. In addition, children can learn from the games and receive a certificate for graduating from Readiness U!
This is a website you can access from our Research link by selecting Emergency Preparedness from the subject list. Ready.gov comes in several languages and is a great resource for guidance on how you can prepare for an emergency.
