Each September, FEMA promotes the importance of preparedness to youth, families, and communities in order to be better able to respond when faced with a disaster.
The 2019 theme is "Prepared, Not Scared". Week 2 (September 8 - 14) is Make a Plan to Prepare for Disasters. Social media content including graphics and posts, and links to resources are available on-line. PSA's are also available for sharing. These resources target youth, adults, seniors, and more. You'll also find resources in several languages at http://ready.gov
