September is National Preparedness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of being ready for disasters and emergencies. It’s a valuable reminder that preparation today can greatly increase your resilience in the aftermath of a crisis.

This year’s theme, “Preparedness Starts at Home,” emphasizes the steps individuals and families can take to stay safe before, during, and after an emergency.
