September is National Preparedness Month

September 3, 2020 By Fr. John Peck [edit]

National Preparedness Month (NPM) is recognized each September to promote family and community disaster planning now and throughout the year. As our nation continues to respond to COVID-19, there is no better time to be involved this September.

2020 is the poster child year for preparedness, and who knows what the rest of the year will bring. Therefore, as a public service, we are encouraging all of our parish members, catechumens, inquirers, and interested visitors  – anyone and everyone – to take the time to make the most of National Preparedness month in their own households. Use this ‘calendar’ to complete your preps. Remember, it’s better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. See our READY page here.

The 2020 NPM theme is: “Disasters Don’t Wait. Make Your Plan Today.“


Week 1 September 1-5: Make A Plan

Talk to your friends and family about how you will communicate before, during, and after a disaster. Make sure to update your plan based on the Centers for Disease Control recommendations due to the coronavirus.

 

Week 2 September 6-12: Build A Kit

Gather supplies that will last for several days after a disaster for everyone living in your home.  Don’t forget to consider the unique needs each person or pet may have in case you have to evacuate quickly. Update your kits and supplies based on recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control.

 

Week 3 September 13-19: Prepare for Disasters

Limit the impacts that disasters have on you and your family.  Know the risk of disasters in your area and check your insurance coverage. Learn how to make your home stronger in the face of storms and other common hazards and act fast if you receive a local warning or alert.

 

Week 4 September 20-26: Teach Youth About Preparedness

Talk to your kids about preparing for emergencies and what to do in case you are separated. Reassure them by providing information about how they can get involved.


Again, here is our Parish Preparedness Page – READY!

Whatever you do, DON’T DO NOTHING.

This is the time to make a real plan, build a real kit, prepare for real problems, and help your neighbors.
