National Preparedness Month is recognized each September to promote family and community disaster and emergency planning now and throughout the year. The 2019 theme is “Prepared, Not Scared.”

This is a good time to build an emergency kit that includes food, water, cash, extra batteries, flashlight, battery-operated radio, and extra medication.
