September is National Preparedness Month, a great time to make sure you’re ready for whatever disasters Texas might throw your way. Below are some simple actions you can take in September – or any month of the year – to be more prepared.

• Get alerts: Stay informed about what’s coming by signing up to get emergency and disaster alerts that work for you.
• Learn how to recover: Register for the Navigating Disaster Resources Webinar where a panel of experts will discuss what to do and how to get help when there’s a disaster.
• Collect your info: Use our online tool to create your own Emergency Ready Sheet so you have your important information in one place in case a disaster or emergency strikes.
• Stock up: If there’s a disaster, you could get stuck somewhere and not be able to get anything. Make sure you’re prepared by stocking up on food and water, medications, or anything else you might need.

For more information to help you be prepared, see our Disaster Resilience resources or our Disaster Resilience videos in American Sign Language (ASL).
