Check it.  So I don’t know how rel­e­vant this is to the read­ers of this blog, but maybe the infor­ma­tion can be used to spread the word to fam­i­ly, friends, and neigh­bors.  Nation­al Pre­pared­ness Month is Sep­tem­ber.  Ready.gov says that Nation­al Pre­pared­ness Month is “designed to encour­age Amer­i­cans to take sim­ple steps to pre­pare for emer­gen­cies in their homes, busi­ness­es, and com­mu­ni­ties.”  FEMA is encour­ag­ing all fam­i­lies to pre­pare for those times when things might get tough for them or their com­mu­ni­ty.  They encour­age every fam­i­ly to have an emer­gency pre­pared­ness kit that can get them through a 72 hour emer­gency.  They are encour­ag­ing peo­ple to make a plan, and spread the word about Nation­al Pre­pared­ness Month.  I think it is a good time to think about it, as hur­ri­cane sea­son, fall, and win­ter are all going to fall upon us VERY quick­ly, and before you know it, we could all be in a pick­le if there is an emer­gency.
