September marks National Preparedness Month

Preparedness Starts at Home, this 2025 theme, focuses on getting back to the essentials of preparedness. In addition to sharing tips you can find on Ready.gov, there are four key actions you can take to prepare for any disaster you may face:

Know your risk!
Know what could happen where you and your family live. This helps you figure out what you need to do to stay safe. You can explore various disasters and emergencies on Ready.gov.

Make a family emergency plan!
Making a plan early helps you reduce stress and save time and money. Follow four easy steps and create a free Family Emergency Plan quickly and easily with our fillable form.

Build an emergency supply kit!
Having enough food, water and medicine can help you stay safe and comfortable until help arrives. Having what you need can also prevent injury and damage to your home.

Join a Community Emergency Response Team program and get trained on basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization and disaster medical operations.

Whether staffing shelters, supporting blood drives, or offering crisis counseling, MRC volunteers are trusted extensions of local health and emergency systems. Their dedication shows that service is more than one day, it’s a lasting commitment to resilience.
