Governor Tony Evers has declared September Preparedness Month in Wisconsin.
Every area of our state can face disasters, and it is important to have a planned response whether you are at home, work, school, or on the road.
Preparedness Month is recognized every September across the country as a part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Ready Campaign.
This year’s campaign focuses on preparing older adults for disasters.
Some steps to consider when preparing older adults for an emergency include, how to stay in contact, plan transportation, and include items like medicine, batteries, and chargers in your emergency supply kit.
For more information on the steps that should be taken and emergency preparedness visit the ReadyWisconsin webpage.
