September is National Preparedness Month

Protect your family by creating an emergency plan and kit.

This month, all families should discuss what to do in the event of a state of emergency or natural disaster.  Check your disaster supply kit and go over your plans in case of a disaster.  Talk to your neighbors and those at work about what to do.  Don't have a plan or supply kit?  Then, this month make sure your family is prepared.  Develop a plan in case of fire, tornado or earthquake.  Have the proper necessities on hand.  For more information, go to: http://www.ready.gov/
