September is National Preparedness Month!

We will never forget September 11, 2001!

This September 11 is the seven year anniversary of one of America's greatest tragedies, we should remember with great respect, to honor those who gave their lives.

Would you have food, water, shelter and warmth in a emergency survival situation? What about your loved ones? Throughout September there will be activities across the country to promote emergency preparedness. More than 3,000 organizations - national, regional, and local public and private organizations - are supporting emergency preparedness efforts and encouraging all Americans to take action and be ready for the unexpected.

September 2010 marks the seventh annual National Preparedness Month, sponsored by the US Department of Homeland Security. One goal of Homeland Security is to educate the public about how to prepare for emergencies, including natural disasters, mass casualties, biological and chemical threats, radiation emergencies, and terrorist attacks.

This September focus on home and family preparedness, including pets, older Americans, and individuals with disabilities and special needs. The American Red Cross, CDC's Web site, Emergency Preparedness and You identifies and answers common questions about preparing for unexpected disasters for you and your community.
