September is National Preparedness Month, So Let’s Get Ready!
There's a lot to think about when preparing for real-time emergencies, so let's take it one step at a time. Getting prepared is within your reach! All month long, we'll be offering a tip of the week to help better prepare our communities. If we all prepare, our community is safer during a disaster and more resilient afterward.
Week 4: Help Friends & Neighbors Get Ready
When we work together to prepare, we transform our neighborhood into a responsive, resilient community.
The most important step you can take to get through times of disaster and stress is to connect. Neighbors who know each other will help each other when there is a need.
A Neighborhood Response Group can be 2 households or a group of 10-15. They could be homes on your street or a floor in your apartment building.
Take this opportunity to knock on some doors, introduce yourself and begin forming your Neighborhood Response Group.
