Disasterville - Volume 5, August 2009

The new issue of "WELCOME TO DISASTERVILLE" has been posted to the KCER website.

September is National Preparedness Month.

Ready is a national public service campaign sponsored by the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency in partnership with The Advertising Council. The Campaign educates and empowers Americans to prepare for, and respond to emergencies, including natural disasters and potential terrorist attacks.

The Campaign’s goal is to get Americans involved and ultimately increase our nation’s level of preparedness. Emergencies can range from inconvenient to devastating. But taking some simple preparedness steps in advance can minimize their impact your life.

Being Ready includes: getting an Emergency Supply Kit; making a Family Emergency Plan; being Informed about emergencies and their appropriate responses; and getting Involved in community efforts
