HTC Monthly September 2025 Newsletter: Emergency Preparedness Month

September is National Preparedness Month; a nationwide effort led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to raise awareness and promote action for disaster readiness. Each year, communities across the country face a wide range of emergencies, from wildfires and hurricanes to power outages and public health crises. These events can happen without warning and have lasting impacts on families, businesses, and infrastructure. National Preparedness Month serves as a reminder that taking steps today can make all the difference tomorrow. The theme for 2025, "Be Ready Before It Strikes," emphasizes the importance of proactive planning and preparation across all ages and abilities.
