This year’s National Preparedness Month theme is Americans Stand Ready.
When Americans take steps to prepare for disasters and keep their families safe, every neighborhood and community is more resilient. Throughout National Preparedness Month in September, FEMA will celebrate and encourage American resourcefulness and civic responsibility.
This year’s theme will focus on several distinct ideas that capture how Americans take pride in their ability to protect themselves and their families and work together to recover from disasters:
Americans stand ready to uphold our patriotic duty:
When individuals are prepared and self-reliant, we can bolster the work our brave first responders do to help people on their worst day.
Americans stand ready to protect our family and friends:
We know best how to keep our loved ones safe when things go wrong.
Americans stand ready to help our communities:
Taking a proactive approach to get your community ready contributes to the nation’s resilience.
