September is National Preparedness Month: an observance “to raise awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could happen at any time.” 1
There are many ways to take action and prepare before a disaster occurs. But FEMA specifically recommends these 12 ways to prepare yourself, your family, and your community to be ready for disasters and emergencies.

Volunteers are needed to staff an Amateur Radio information table and, if possible the RRRA Communication Trailer, at the 2017 LDS Preparedness Fair.
