Lizeth GeorgeSeptember is National Preparedness Month, a time dedicated to empowering communities to take proactive steps today to prepare for future risks and disasters. This month’s theme emphasizes the importance of readiness, encouraging everyone to engage in preparedness efforts, especially during hurricane season. By acting now, we can better protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities from mother nature.
National Preparedness Month is a call to action for individuals, families, and organizations to strengthen their emergency plans and ensure they are equipped to handle potential threats. Whether it’s creating an emergency kit, developing a communication plan, or staying informed about local risks, there are numerous ways to enhance your preparedness journey.
To get started, visit Ready.gov or Listo.gov for expert tips, advice, and resources to help you prepare before an emergency or disaster strikes. These platforms offer comprehensive guidance on everything from building a basic disaster supply kit to understanding the specific risks your community may face.
In addition to these national resources, the League of Southeastern Credit Unions (LSCU) will be sharing valuable tools, products, and information throughout September to help you navigate hurricane season. These resources will provide practical advice on safeguarding your home, family, and finances in the face of potential storms.
Don’t wait for a disaster to strike—empower your preparedness journey today and ensure you and your community are ready for whatever challenges may come.
