September is National Preparedness Month

DEP News Release

HARRISBURG — September is National Preparedness Month—a time when federal, state and local partners encourage citizens to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses and communities.

The ReadyPA campaign can help you and your loved ones prepare for a disaster. The campaign’s Web site, www.ReadyPA.org (or call 1-888-9-READYPA) offers important information like what to include in a preparedness kit and how to create a family emergency plan.

Knowing what to do is your best defense in any emergency so start planning now. This September, share that message with others by encouraging them to “Be Informed, Be Prepared, and Be Involved.”
