September is National Preparedness Month--What is your family or congregation doing to be prepared for a disaster?

2014 NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH 
"Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare"

During National Preparedness Month we ask you, your family, community and workplace to take action by planning a National PrepareAthon! Day on or around September 30th. We recommend using digital media tools as a way to promote National Preparedness Month, September 1-30th.

What you can do to promote National Preparedness Month:
