Check out this great preparedness checklist from our Oklahoma Large Animal First Responders. National Preparedness Month is the perfect time to make sure you have thought about the "what ifs" and plan accordingly. Happy Prepping!

For this week's "Preptember" post, we're sharing an info-image from our friends at the Butler County Kansas Animal Response Team and Butler County Kansas CERT teams, which gives a great check list on items to assist a farm or ranch mitigating the effects of a disaster.

How many of those boxes can you check off? The more the better!!

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the families, friends, and communities forever changed by that day.

We remember the first responders who ran toward danger, the civilians who showed extraordinary courage, and the countless people who stepped forward to help in the days and weeks that followed.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor their memory by caring for one another, serving our communities, and being prepared to help when help is needed most.

May we Never Forget. 🇺🇸

Folks, THIS is our month....National Preparedness Month! Make sure to encourage a friend to get prepared, because we know with Oklahoma weather that it's not a matter of IF, but WHEN a disaster will happen. Let's be prepared, not scared! Go spread the word!

Be ready before you need to be. 🎒

A Go-Bag is an emergency supply kit you can grab and go when disaster strikes. Having one ready can help prevent injury, reduce stress and keep you from scrambling for supplies when you need them most.

Your Go-Bag will look different depending on your household’s needs. Take some time today to build a kit that works for you and your family.
