Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) sent this bulletin at 09/03/2024 07:00 AM EDT

September is National Preparedness Month! Learn more on Ready.gov!

September marks National Preparedness Month, the annual campaign to remind everyone that preparing for emergencies and disasters can keep them, their families, and their communities safe.

While the resources and information shared during National Preparedness Month and on Ready.gov can be used by anyone at any time to get prepared for whatever may come their way, this year, the campaign is focused on preparing Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities. The Ready Campaign aims to ensure all of our friends and neighbors have the tools they need to prepare for disasters and build resilience before disaster strikes.

Launch your community's National Preparedness Month campaign using National Preparedness Month | Ready.gov resources. Access preparedness materials in multiple languages at Ready in Your Language | Ready.gov and build your own Basic Disaster Supplies Kit.

FEMA Releases the National Resilience Guidance (NRG) & Webinar Series

Date: September 24, 2024 - October 9, 2024

Time: 1:00 p.m. GMT-4 - 4:00 p.m. GMT-4

Location: Virtual

The National Resilience Guidance emphasizes that strengthening resilience requires a collective approach. A resilient nation is created and sustained through thriving communities with secure and adaptable social, economic, environmental, housing, infrastructure, and institutional systems. Addressing resilience from only one perspective or through only one resilience lens will not be successful.
