National Preparedness Month Reminds Hoosier Families to Plan for Unexpected Disasters
By: Sheila McCrea - Wednesday, September 2, 2020

In recognition of National Preparedness Month, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security encourages Hoosiers to spend the month of September talking with their friends and family about planning and preparing for all of Indiana’s potential disasters.

This year’s National Preparedness Month theme, "Disasters Don’t Wait. Make Your Plan Today," emphasizes the importance of creating a family emergency communications plan, assembling a disaster preparedness kit and identifying the different types of disasters that can happen locally.

Most of all, parents and guardians should use this month as an opportunity to talk with children about preparing for emergencies and getting them involved in the disaster planning process.

A comprehensive collection of safety and preparedness resources can be found at GetPrepared.in.gov.
