September is National Preparedness Month
National
Preparedness Month (NPM), recognized each September, provides an opportunity to
remind us that we all must prepare ourselves and our families now and
throughout the year.
Take time to
learn lifesaving skills- such as CPR and first aid, check your insurance
policies and coverage for the hazards you may face, such as flood, earthquakes,
and tornados.
Make sure to
consider the costs associated with disasters and save for an emergency. Also, know how to take practical safety steps
like shutting off water and gas.
