The
goal of National Preparedness Month is to increase
public awareness about the importance
of preparing for emergencies, including natural
disasters and potential terrorist attacks,
and to encourage individuals to take action
to prepare themselves and their families. Throughout
the month, the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security asks all Americans to take some simple
steps to prepare themselves and their families
for emergencies including getting a family
emergency supply kit, making a family emergency
plan, being informed about different threats
and getting involved in preparing their communities.
