Make September Your Month to Get Ready
It's National Preparedness Month
Each September, a nationwide effort is made to encourage Americans to take simple steps to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses and schools. During National Preparedness Month, federal, state, and local governments, as well as non-profit organizations and voluntary agencies implement information tools to educate the public about the importance of individual and family preparedness.

With the threat of flooding from possible hurricanes and storms during the remainder of this hurricane season, residents should take this time to form a plan and make sure they are prepared for future emergency and disaster situations. There are multiple resources available to individuals, families and businesses from federal and state agencies.

Learn more about these resources in the PEMA Disaster News Bulletin.
