National Preparedness Month is a time to recognize how proactive steps taken today can strengthen our ability to face emergencies.

The 2026 theme, Americans Stand Ready, reminds us that everyone has a role in keeping our families and communities safe. This year’s focus encourages all of us to make a plan, be in the know, build a kit, and take the next step.

If you or a group you know is interested in hosting a preparedness presentation, contact the Ionia County Health Department at 616‑527‑5341 or email [email protected].

One final reminder: Michigan state law and state code require a license for any campground with five or more recreational units — regardless of cost, who’s staying, or who owns the property. This applies to all sites hosting five or more units.

Temporary campgrounds may only accept campers after receiving their license, and they are only permitted to operate during the exact dates listed on that license. These rules ensure every campground meets Michigan’s safety and sanitation standards before opening.

Choosing a licensed campground keeps you and your family protected by guaranteeing:
Safe water outlets
Toilet facilities
Proper waste disposal
Access routes for emergency vehicles

Full details are available on our website — the link will be in the comments. Stay safe and have fun this weekend!
