The
Lubbock County Office of Emergency Management (OEM), in
cooperation with Ready Campaign and PrepareAthon, is excited to announce
September has again been declared as National Preparedness Month.
This
September, National Preparedness Month (NPM) will focus on planning, with an
overarching theme “Disasters Don’t Plan Ahead. You Can.”
We can
all take action to prepare! We are all able to help first responders in our
community by training how to respond during an emergency and what to do when
disaster strikes — where we live, work, and visit. The goal of NPM is to
increase the overall number of individuals, families, and communities that
engage in preparedness actions at home, work, businesses, school, and places of
worship.
