September 2020 National Preparedness Month – Wrapped Up

Every year, September is #NationalPreparednessMonth. This year, SERVPRO of Hardin/Larue Counties really wanted to encourage families to go through the steps that Ready.gov outlines that can really benefit you if a disaster were to strike. This year’s tasks included making an emergency plan, building a home emergency kit, educating yourself about what disasters and emergencies threaten your area the most, and teaching the youth around you about preparedness. Ready.gov does a great job of outlining things you may not have considered previously, and helping you prepare. They also provide resources for your entire family, all the way from children to elderly members.

We would like to give a big thank you to each person or family that followed along this month and completed all the tasks. You have accomplished a lot this month, and should be proud!

Even if you are just now catching up, it is not too late. You can still go back through the activities of each week, and work through them.

Ready.gov has a motto for 2020: “Disasters Don’t Wait. Make Your Plan Today.”

It is so true, it is never the wrong time to prepare yourself and your family against the many different problems that could arise in your area. Start your planning today!
