September is Preparedness Month in TexasGovernor Greg Abbott has declared September as Preparedness Month in Texas to coincide with National Preparedness Month. The Lone Star State encounters at least one major disaster nearly every calendar year. This year devastating severe weather during the months of May and June caused loss of life and property. Families and communities continue long-term recovery and rebuilding lives. The theme for the 2015 National Preparedness Month (NPM) is: Don’t Wait. Communicate. Make Your Emergency Plan Today. Everyone is encouraged to develop an emergency plan for communicating with family and friends and know where you and loved ones will go if an evacuation is necessary. Learn how to assemble a disaster supply kit of important emergency supplies including a first aid kit, a NOAA Weather Radio or battery-operated radio, flashlight, medication, non-perishable food items, and bottled water. Take this time to promote awareness, preparedness, and mitigation measures to help prevent and reduce loss of life and property. Enclosed is the Preparedness Month proclamation signed by Governor Abbott. For more information about Preparedness Month, CLICK HERE to visit the TDEM website. Social media users can follow the hashtag #NatlPrep to keep up with the preparedness conversation online. Other links on preparedness: |
