September is National Preparedness Month

National Preparedness Month (NPM) is recognized annually in September to encourage family and community disaster planning for not only a month, but every day, throughout the year.

This year’s theme for National Preparedness Month is: “Prepare to Protect. Preparing for disasters is protecting everyone you love.”

In coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Ready campaign, the Ohio EMA and ReadyOhio, the Central Ohio Trauma System (COTS) encourage households, county EMAs, businesses, schools, and places of worship to plan for emergencies by participating in the weekly themes for National Preparedness Month 2021.

The CMA PAC has only one fundraising event every year. Your contributions at this event are used to make donations to Central Ohio officeholders and candidates that local doctors decide are supportive of the work and perspectives of the CMA, COTS, and PCC.

Committee members invited Commissioner Kevin Boyce as a local leader to discuss the pandemic response, disaster/emergency planning, and local healthcare equity issues.
