National Preparedness Month culminates with National PrepareAthon! Day on September 30. Participate in your community’s disaster planning during the PrepareAthon! by taking action, being counted and spreading the word about preparedness.
Take Action: Learn about hazards like earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and winter storms. You can download free, hazard-specific resources designed to help you plan, conduct, and promote your preparedness activities and discussions. Find out where preparedness events are happening in your community, connect with other communities of practice, and add your own activities to the map to demonstrate how you are taking action to prepare. Check out these ideas for participating:
Be Counted: Add your activities or find other activities (in the US and beyond) on the interactive map.
Spread the Word: Use creative resources to promote your activity and provide feedback. Are you planning a Day of Action? Have a look at the checklist, which includes all steps from getting ready though assessing your success.
Materials are available English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, French, Japanese, and Tagalog.
