City Of Cupertino: National Preparedness Month: Four Steps Toward Preparedness

Press release from the City of Cupertino:

09/02/2021

National Preparedness Month is recognized each September to promote family and community emergency planning throughout the year. One of our goals this year is to prepare our community members to protect everyone they love by being prepared citizens. When you are prepared, you will be better positioned to help those around you.

 
Emergency preparedness takes the whole community including community members, law enforcement, fire, and EMS to respond to and rebuild after an emergency or disaster strikes. When we work together for the good of others, our communities are stronger.

 
For this year’s National Preparedness Month, we ask our community members to take 4 Steps toward preparedness.

 
4 Steps of Emergency Preparedness
Week 1: Make A Plan (September 1-4)
Week 2: Build an Emergency Supply Kit (September 5-11)
Week 3: Prepare for a Disaster (September 12-18)
Week 4: Teach Youth About Preparedness (September 19-25)
