West Virginia (WOAY) September is National Preparedness Month, a time to take simple steps to help keep yourself, your family, and your community safe.
FEMA’s Ready campaign has observed the month since 2004.
This year’s theme is “Americans stand ready.”
The campaign emphasizes unity, resilience, and preparing before disaster strikes.
FEMA encourages everyone to stay informed, make an emergency plan, and build an emergency kit with essential supplies.
You’re also encouraged to learn skills like first aid and CPR and find ways to help your community prepare.
FEMA says emergencies can happen anywhere, at any time, and sometimes without warning.
Taking a few small steps now can make a big difference when an emergency happens.
