Emergencies can occur without warning. Do you have an emergency supply kit and a plan of action? Do you know what to do in the event of an earthquake? fire? flood? or other emergency?
September is National Preparedness Month. This is the perfect opportunity to take a few minutes at work to talk with your co-workers and students, and at home with your family or roommates to figure out a game plan for emergencies. Does your office have an emergency contact list? Does your family have an out of state contact identified for everyone to check in with? Have you identified a reunification site if you are unable to get home?
Start preparing NOW for what may happen tomorrow. Don't be caught off guard; without supplies or a plan. Check out these fun videos from Ready.gov that remind us how important it is to Have A Kit, Make A Plan, Be Informed, and Get Involved!
