Be Prepared


Being prepared for an emergency is simple - but sometimes a low priority on our list of many things to do. September is National Preparedness Month. The CDC has put out a great list of resources to help follow these four simple steps:


September is National Preparedness Month, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) encourages everyone to make disaster preparedness a priority.
“National Preparedness Month serves as a reminder that we all need to prepare for disasters and emergencies,” said FEMA Region V acting regional administrator, Janet Odeshoo.  “Make disaster readiness manageable by taking one step at a time— start by learning your specific risk, then gather supplies for an emergency kit, and finally develop a family communications plan. By taking these small, but critical, steps, over time you can be prepared for disasters.”
FEMA publishes a great resource brochure.
Mayers Memorial Hospital District encourages you to be prepared at home, school and business.
