September is “National Preparedness Month”

(Undated) — September is “National Preparedness Month.” The Crawford County Health Department is reminding the public to think about what you and the people in your home need to do every day to stay prepared. They say having enough food, water, and medicine can help you stay safe and comfortable until help arrives in the event of an emergency. Having what you need can prevent injury, help you stay safe and comfortable, and prevent damage to your home. Visit Ready.gov/kit for a list of basic supplies you can keep in your home and car to stay safe and comfortable when an emergency or disaster happens. They say to build a “go-bag” with all the essentials you might need, so you don’t need to scramble in an evacuation situation.
