Are you ready for a disaster? The time to prepare is right now. That's the message the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, is working to get out to people in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas during September, which is national preparedness month.
National preparedness month is an annual initiative sponsored by FEMA's Ready Campaign in partnership with Citizen Corps and the Ad Council. The theme this year is "A Time to Remember, A Time to Prepare."
"This is a season when many of us will reflect upon past disasters such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina," said FEMA Region 6 administrator Tony Russell. "But we must also remember to look forward and be prepared because disasters can happen anywhere at any time. We strongly encourage everyone to take these crucial steps to get ready: have a plan in place, put together an emergency kit and stay informed by listening to your local and state officials."
