The month of September not only ushers in the official end of summer, it is also designated National Preparedness Month (NPM).

NPM encourages Americans and their communities to prepare and plan for emergencies that affect the general public. Ranging from common power outages to horrific national disasters, the American Public Health Association stresses the importance of being prepared.

September 15th is designated Get Ready Day so take the time on this date to come up with a plan for yourself and your family.
