September 2008 Newlsetter
Greetings
As part of preparedness month I attended a Red Cross conference where hundreds of volunteers and Red Cross staff were involved in training and education programs. This was an awesome experience - seeing first hand the dedication, care and concern exhibited by the men and women participating in the conference. During the conference there was continued monitoring of the Hurricane activity, with many individuals knowing that at any time they could be deployed across the country to help the victims of the hurricane devastation. The Red Cross volunteers are today's heroes!

September is National Preparedness Month
September is National Preparedness Month (NPM) and a good reminder
that we all have a responsibility in protecting ourselves, families
and our communities. Emergencies will happen, but taking action now
can help us minimize the impact they will have on our lives. Throughout
September, activities and events will take place across this country
to highlight the importance of emergency preparedness and promote individual
involvement, such as first aid training, town hall meetings and much
more.
Planning is a daily part of our routine. We plan our summer vacations,
weekend activities and grocery store visits. We plan our children's
schedules and daily tasks. And, without a doubt, endless lists often
follow. There is one particular list that deserves to be checked twice
- and it's not the list you make in December. We're talking about reviewing
your emergency preparedness checklist and developing an emergency preparedness
plan for your family.
The Ready Campaign encourages you to take a few extra minutes this
month to plan in case of an emergency. Consider the following questions:
Have you spoken to your children's schools about their shelter-in-place
and/or evacuation plans?; Do you know the evacuation plan at your work?;
If your cell phone was inoperable how would you get in touch with your
family?; Do you have a family meeting place and an out of town contact?
These are just a few of the questions you should consider as you are
developing your emergency plan.
Free preparedness resources are just a click away at ready.gov or listo.gov
or by calling 1-800-BE-READY. The Ready Web site also has a special
sections for kids, ages 8-12, (Ready Kids) and small- to medium-sized
businesses (Ready Business). Emergencies can happen anytime and
to anyone - Ready or not.
