Happy National Preparedness Month!

Preparedness starts at home, and September is the perfect time to refresh yourself and your family on emergency preparedness fundamentals

September is National Preparedness Month🦺

Emergencies can happen quickly, but taking a few steps now can help you and your family feel more ready.

Start with the basics:
• Make a plan
• Build an emergency kit
• Know how to receive alerts
• Talk with your family about what to do if you are separated

Preparedness is a whole-community effort, and every household can take small steps to be safer.

Help Shape Racine County's Preparedness Priorities!
Racine County Emergency Management is working to identify our community's preparedness priorities for the next several years, and we want to hear from you!
The information collected through this survey will help inform the County's Integrated Preparedness Plan (IPP), which guides future emergency planning, training, exercises, public education, and other preparedness activities. Emergency preparedness isn't just the responsibility of first responders or government agencies—it takes the whole community. If you live or work in Racine County, please consider voicing your thoughts.
You do not need any special knowledge or emergency management experience to complete this survey. There are no right or wrong answers—we simply want to know what preparedness looks like from your perspective.
The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete, and your feedback will be anonymous. The survey can be found here:

We had the pleasure of helping plan and support Exercise Yeti along with multiple other County agencies!

Trainings such as this go a long way to making our community more resilient and prepared 💪
