National Preparedness Month Resources

September is National Preparedness Month. Be prepared. Not scared. 

• Make A Plan: Talk to your family and friends about how you will communicate before, during, and after a disaster. 
• Build A Kit: Gather supplies that will last for several days after a disaster for everyone living in your home. Consider the unique needs each person and pet may have in case you have to evacuate quickly. 
• Stay Informed: Register for disaster alerts in Santa Clara County. Review FEMA’s website for other important communication paperwork for your household.
• Low-Cost and No-Cost Preparedness: Know the risk of disasters in your area. Learn how to make your home stronger in the event of a disaster. Check your insurance coverage to make sure it is up-to-date and provides adequate coverage.
• Teach Youth About Preparedness: Talk to your kids about preparing for emergencies and what to do in case you are separated. Reassure them by providing information about how they can get involved and be prepared.

You can find more preparedness information online, and follow Santa Clara County Fire Department on Eventbrite to stay informed about upcoming safety classes and community events.
