It is National Preparedness Month – Are you Prepared?

HomeZad Emergency Preparedness InfographicSeptember is National Preparedness Month. It is a time to regroup and help your family understand what to do in case of an unexpected situation occurs.

Families also need to prepare for unexpected household fires that may start in the kitchen or by a grill. Maybe an electric heater was left on or a candle was left burning. Being prepared can help get family members out of the home in a timely and safe manner.
