September is National Preparedness Month

 

September is National Preparedness Month (NPM). National Preparedness Month is sponsored by FEMA"s Ready Campaign in partnership with Citizen Corps. NPM each September to encourage Americans to make sure they are prepared for disasters or emergencies in their homes, businesses, and communities.

 

We are encouraging you to take these four steps to become prepared for any emergency:

 

1. Be Informed – Sign Up for OPM and Local Emergency Alerts;
2. Make a Family / Personal Emergency Plan,
3. Build an Emergency Kit ; and
4. Get Involved in your local community and here at OPM

Finally, you can learn more about Emergency Preparedness in the National Capital Region by downloading the Emergency Preparedness for Federal Employees in the National Capital Region Brochure at: http://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id=6018

As always, if you have any questions or ideas on how OPM employees can become better prepared, please contact Mark Lewack, the TRB Emergency Actions Coordinator at (202) 606-5415 or e-mail him at mark.lewack@opm.gov.
