(09/25/17) This week’s theme for National Preparedness Month is Get Involved! Be Part of Something Larger. What we should be doing after we have our home and family prepared is to work with your business, school or faith based group that you belong to and help get them prepared as a group. Essential what you have done to prepare your family and home can be replicated where you work, attend school and your faith based group. Specific Preparedness information and tips for business can be found here – www.ready.gov/business likewise tips for Schools can be found at www.ready.gov/campus and lastly tips for your faith based group can be found here – www.fema.gov/faith-resources With so much of preparedness dealing with weather you are also urged join the Weather Ready Nation at http://www.weather.gov/wrn/. In a major widespread disaster government resources will not be able to handle all the situations that arise. As you may have seen in the recent hurricane strikes in Texas and Florida much of the assistance was from volunteers groups, large companies and faith based groups. Preparing your business, school or faith based group will not only help assure their survival but will enhance your survival also.
