September is National Preparedness Month – Don’t Wait, Communicate 2022
Launched in 2004, National Preparedness Month (NPM) is FEMA’s national annual preparedness outreach. NPM is managed and sponsored by FEMA’s Ready Campaign. The Ready Campaign, in conjunction with the Ad Council, aims to educate and empower Americans during NPM and throughout the year to prepare for and respond to all types of emergencies, including natural disasters and potential terrorist attacks. National Preparedness Month culminates on September 30th with National Preparedness Day, the National Day of Action.
Lone Star Legal Aid is proud to participate in NPM. By doing so, we want to ensure YOU are prepared in case of a disaster (natural or man-made). If you haven’t taken the time to think about how different disasters could affect you, we challenge you to take the necessary steps to become informed and develop a family plan for such events.
