As we approach the anniversary of 9/11, and with the recent images of disasters from across the United States fresh in our minds, we encourage you to remember the individual responsibility to prepare for disasters. During and immediately after a disaster event, First Responders may not be able to able to reach those in need for several hours, and possibly even days. By accepting responsibility for taking care of ourselves and our loved ones, we contribute to a quicker recovery and lessen the impact of disasters on our communities.
