September is National Preparedness Month! And this year R7 is excited to be a (small) part of Climate Prep Week by sharing the below announcement from partners at CREW and the Blue Marble Librarians.

CPW will be held the final week of September, September 24th-30th. This year, the official theme for Climate Prep Week is “The Planet’s Health and Yours: Facing the Invisible Impacts of Climate Change.” CREW’s own events will focus on some of the hidden impacts of extreme weather and climate change, such as mental health, economic & environmental injustice, and public health. If you are interested in participating this year as an event host, we encourage you to consider how you can weave this theme, and the more invisible effects of climate change, into your own events- but events with all kinds of focuses and themes are welcome!

In case you missed the announcement from CREW, it’s now time to start planning your 2022 Climate Preparedness Week programs. There are many ways to get involved!
