September is National Preparedness Month.

This is your reminder that “I’ll do it later” is not a plan.

Ask yourself:

• Do I know the risks where I live?
• Am I signed up for local emergency alerts?
• Do I have an emergency kit?
• Does my family have an emergency plan?

Being prepared starts at home. Small steps today can help keep you safe tomorrow.

Kids learn best when they’re healthy and in school. Routine immunizations help protect children from serious, preventable diseases and help reduce the spread of illness in classrooms and communities. Before the school year begins, ask your pediatrician about the immunizations they recommend to keep your child healthy and ready to learn.
