Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families forever changed, and the first responders and countless others who demonstrated extraordinary courage in the face of tragedy.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor their memory and reflect on the resilience, service and unity shown in the days and years that followed.

We remember.

September is National Preparedness Month, and this year’s theme, Americans Stand Ready, reinforces the importance of taking proactive steps before disaster strikes.

Preparedness extends beyond individuals and families. The buildings and communities where we live and work also play a critical role in our ability to withstand, respond to, and recover from natural and man-made hazards.

At the National Institute of Building Sciences, we work across the public and private sectors to advance a safer, more resilient built environment.

Throughout National Preparedness Month, we encourage individuals, organizations, and communities to consider the steps they can take today to strengthen preparedness for tomorrow.
