NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH 2008
As a member of the National Preparedness Month Coalition, Chasing4Life wants you to start thinking now about what you can do to impact your community with a disaster preparedness message during September, National Preparedness Month.
National Preparedness Month is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Ready Campaign. NPM is held each September and is designed to encourage Americans to take simple steps to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses and communities.
This is our fifth year as members of the coalition and you will notice an increased amount of preparedness materials available on our website during National Preparedness Month with a focus on Emergency supply Kits, Family Emergency Plans and disaster resilience education.
Last year we were partnered with over 1800 organizations nationwide as a part of this coalition, highlighting the importance of disaster preparedness.
We want to encourage you to think about what YOU can do next month to be a part of this awesome effort. Ask your church to host a disaster preparedness event, talk to your chamber about a business continuity workshop or approach your boss about a disaster planning in-service. There are tons of things you can do during the month of September (and all year for that matter) to promote disaster preparedness education! Feel free to contact us to schedule something or for more ideas.
Most importantly, take some time with your own family to discuss what you would do if disaster struck your area, neighborhood or home.
Keep watching the blog and our site, we’ll be posting lots more before September is over…
Wow, September is right around the corner…
